    I think someone mentioned it earlier but try and find a shop that will let you try before you buy. That way you'll be able to find out what the bike can handle in terms of potholes.

    In the sub £600 category for a road bike that needs to be able to contend with less than perfect road conditions, something like the Genesis CDA 10 is worth a look at.

    Discs add a premium in terms of cost and weight to a bike. At your budget they are likely to be mechanical as well, which isn’t as good as hydraulic. I’d be inclined to drop the discs to improve the other components. Although this looks like a good buy. Or slightly cheaper without discs.

    Would putting dropped bars on a hybrid work or is the frame geometry different?
