not mobile again again

A day after getting a new rear wheel fitted and I was riding home to feel it wobbling and rubbing against the frame. "Oh, no, not again," says I. And no, it wasn't another buckled wheel. Instead the frame attaching one axle to the bike had sheared off. Time for a new bike. Any reccomendations on the cheap hybrid side (it was an old steel-framed Shogun Metro AT and I really did like it, although it is no longer available - and in fact there seems to be a great absence of Shogun bikes locally) save for the fact it really needed a heavy duty rear wheel for my frame).
