About this deal
This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:
S, M & L in stock.
Terrific value for money. Shimano gears.

The only thing I would say is if you live in an area full of very steep hills you may struggle due to the range of gears otherwise will be a perfect commuter bike.
27.5" tyres are very cheap to replace.

sorted by-This has a more aggressive riding position, which some will prefer. Others like to be more upright.
-Cheap mechanical disc brakes can be fiddly.
If I was looking for a cheap commuter bike, and had the extra £68 to spare, I'd go for this one. It's almost 4kg(!!) lighter than the Decathlon one as well.
edit: Worth reading the reviews at the bottom of the page. Complaints about the brakes, the weight being heavier than listed, and the sizing being unusual (I have a "large" Vitus bike and can confirm it feels more like a medium.) Not criticising the deal, corner-cutting is an inevitability at this price. (edited)
The steel forks would be ideal for a front hub motor conversion if you wanted to change this to an ebike. 27.5" wheels are very strong typically although not quite as strong as 26" wheels of the same spec.
This is very much like the Carrera Subway at Halfords and a very good alternative at a lower price than the entry level Subway with mechanical disc brakes. The downgrade here is a 7 speed cassette rather than 8 speed which does limit your choice of cassettes a lot. You'll need to be careful about sizing as there is very little height adjustment on the handlebars with a threadless system. If you get it wrong you might need an extension fitted or variable angle stem or change the handlebar style.
