Must admit that I am no expert, but I would suggest having a read of this:

http://www.bikeradar.com/gear/article/whats-the-best-bike-for-cycle-commuting-29898/

Then chose the type of bike you fancy and people (the 2 or 3 knowledgeable ones on here) will be able to give you recommendations.

No idea on what sort, that's why I'm asking. Won't need panniers or a rack.

Will you use it for anything else other than commuting on roads?

Good stuff. Let's us know how you get on
i've had a few Km's on them now, and the difference between the stock wheels and the fulcrums is noticeable, especially when paired with some very light (and gaudy) and stiff Sidi shoes.

thanks for the advice chaps.

anyone fancy a jaunt on the bikes when the weather isn't fucking wank?

well i had some white DhB ones, that were heavy and poor fitting. and being white got mucky very easily.

i thought i'd play it safe and get some decent ones that should aid my not getting knocked off!

Maybe NMH should get some - then he'd be seen from space.  Would you recommend Sidis ? And what colour is the helmet ?

the link i used previously recommending the fizik one. tis black n white.
i'd recommend them in that my only basis for reference is the previous dhb's that weren't great. that and the fact i got them for £80 instead of the usual RRP of £150

Were they cheap cos of the colour, I got a pair of Shimano ones for £60 reduced from £160, I suspect becuase they are silver and look like dancing shoes! They look better now that they are shit up!

Have any of you tried Shimano shoes, it may just be my feet but I find them a little narrow?
