Custom-built, city fixie/single speed bike for sale - L size steel frame
This custom bike is built on an Elops 500 frame base, but the original bike's performance and appearance have been significantly upgraded to be even lighter, faster, and more comfortable for urban use.
Features:
Frame and brakes: The original Elops 500 Hi Ten steel frame and road caliper brakes remain, providing stability and excellent braking performance.
Fork: The original steel fork has been replaced with a lightweight Csepel Royal Carbon 2.0 carbon fork, further reducing the bike's weight and improving shock absorption.
Wheels: Hand-laced DT Swiss R460 double-wall rims, with a Miche Prima Pista track hub in the front and a Sturmey Archer hub in the back (flip/flop system: single speed/fixie). The tooth count: single speed 17T, fixie 15T. The bike can be used as both a single speed and a fixie, simply by flipping the rear wheel.
Tires: Vittoria Rubino Graphene 2.0 tubeless tires offer excellent grip and puncture protection.
Crankset: FSA FTA-105 ULTRALIGHT single speed crankset (48T, 170 mm), weighing only 595 g, offering quick and easy pedaling.
Handlebars: Carbon road integrated handlebars with XLC BL-R01 brake levers, providing great control and a modern look.
Seatpost: XLC SP-R04 Comp aluminum seatpost for stable support.
Weight: The bike's total weight, including pedals and a bottle cage, is approximately 10 kg, making it fast and agile for city commuting.
