Recommend a racer?
May be worth checking out Decathlon as their bikes are normally good value
and from memory their road bikes start at about 200 quid. BTW their web
site is crap !!

Tubas or Thorn in steel should be reliable. Both intended for "expedition"

nexus 8 hub gear chain size
Should be OK with 1/8" chain as that will work on 3/32 and 1/8 sprockets.
Also 1/8 is a quicker to fit because the joining system is much easier to
handle.

Slime inner tubes

have them on a few of our utility and electric bikes and no punctures so
