Jai un billet a donner a qqn intéressé. Malheureusement je peux plus y aller.

Faut avoir l'appli Dice pour le transfert.

Y a toujours des billets disponibles en vente si vous voulez aller avec un +1.

Hey folks. I've been riding a (second-hand) vintage road bike for a while now but am starting to get really annoyed by the front/back gear issues and overall "fiddliness", grinding, and maintenance of the transmission system.

I'm at a point where I'm only using a single gear all the time so I figure why not go single speed. I'm using my bike for commuting (20KM) and chill rides on the weekend (40-80KM).

I don't want to spend more than a few hundred euros (upfront) on this project.

Seems like the only real options I have are to either:

a. buy an ELOPS 500 and slowly change most parts for better ones

b. wait for a used model I like (which also fits me) to show up on FB Marketplace/Ebay and hope for the best? I'm in France and apart from converted vintage bikes, there aren't that many accessible options.

So I guess my question would be... is an ELOPS 500 a good "base" model for what I'm thinking of doing or is it a waste of money? Or maybe is there another route I haven't considered? Building the bike from zero by individually buying parts seems like it'd get very expensive, very fast. Thanks for the help!
