I've been looking at a few commuter bikes but this ticks a lot of boxes at the 500 quid mark.
Retail is £1499.99 (bit of a stretch) but 500 is a bit of a bargain for a solid Kona.

Sadly only small left but if this suits then take a look.
You won't win any TDFs but it certainly appears bombproof.

Kona Shield, an ideal commuter bike.
The Kona Shield is the ultimate utilitarian bike ready to withstand carrying heavy loads thanks to its cleverly designed integrated rack. The Shield doubles as both a cargo bike and a bombproof adventurer. Kona designed the frame geometry for a comfortable ride. The Shimano Deore 2x10 speed offer a reliable drivetrain that provides easy shifting and great stopping power. The minimalistic graphics make the Shield a stealthy bike that is up for any adventure.

    Good spec for the price

    Has a coil fork - not as good as an air one, but takes almost no maintenance.

    Kona commuter bikes are usually over-built and easily last 20+ years.

    An ideal commuter bike has mudguards.

    Agreed. Seems like a huge oversight on a bike billed as a touring/commuter model.

    Fork is a disappointment, but I like cable management. Good bike, heat added.
