Even though it’s a Decathlon’s cheapest bike (Elops Speed 500), it’s pretty solid.
I’m making a lot of city rides, a lot of elevation gains and a lot of high speed segments. Made a few 100km rides too, one with 2300m elevation.
I love this bike, gave me back my pleasure from riding.
Changes made:
– added reflective stickers
– changed tyres to puncture proof ones
– changed flat to drop bar (yes, I don’t use the bar tape)
– changed freewheel (died after 1000km)
– added straps

Love the cheetah spots. Nice ride!
Nice to see another single speed rider with straps. Cages don’t feel right and I really like having foot retention.
Once you try actually good tires, it will bring you riding pleasure you didn’t even know existed.
