Default Suggest a couple of hybrids for me to look at...

...Hi. After 20 years bike-less I'm taking the plunge again. But the choice (in the UK) is amazing. I don't want to spend hours trying bikes out so perhaps you can give me a couple (or 3) makes/models to look at. My constraints...

1. I will be doing mainly recreational road and not-too-difficult track. So a hybrid it has to be!

2. My budget is "value", say £200-£300 UK Pounds.

3. I'm 6foot tall and heavy (whether that makes a difference).

4. I doubt I need suspension.

5. I don't mind buying last years model.

Let the (not too many) suggestions start rolling in...(I'm going to Evans cycles in London at the weekend)
Thanks

PS. If you know of any "top 10" lists of "value hybrid bikes" or other applicable links please tell me.

I don't know the exchange rate so this might not matter. I love my Trek 7500FX. but like it best on the roads. Sister in law likes her 7200 which costs less. Seen a couple people on Giants who are having a good time and are comfortable over the long haul.

What I woudl do is hit ye olde bike shoppes and look at price tags and RIDE THEM. Let your buttocks decide.
