Single Speed City Bike - 500

Can't go wrong,

Coming up to two years use for this bike used for a 5 km each way commute with a couple of short hills. Currently my second bike with studded ice tyres fitted for winter. Strengths - absolute reliabllity, one puncture (caused by 5mm piece of glass which would have gone thr

ough any tyre), no spoke or wheel issues. One pedal broke after a year, chain replaced a couple of times, brake pads of course. Not very stealable and happy to lock it up in the city centre. Perfect gearing for my commute, never either spin out or stand up for more than a couple of seconds. Weaknesses - incompatablity with mudguards (even so-called universal ones) is a bad fault on a bicycle used for daily transport, and you will be limited to an ugly seat-post pannier rack.

10/10

Very good single gear bike. Great quality price

Great, simple,well made bike hassle free maintenance especially after i fitted the tannus tyres, so no punctures ever, bought one 2 years ago in white, still going strong, gave to family member, so bought one in blue, would happily recommend you buy this bike if your looking f

or a sturdy affordable simple bike, happy customer.

Simple, great bike. use it everyday

Had this bike about a week. Good bike, I realised it fixed problems with my old one that I didn't know I had. For one, the steel frame absorbs shock much better. This is great when going over any uneven/bumpy/potholes ground. Secondly, the handlebars. The slim 500mm is perfect

when you're passing people on tight spots e.g. canal paths. It makes a big difference. The gear ratio is good but you might want to upgrade to a 17 or 16t freewheel. 18t is fine for me. The handlebar grips are comfortable, as is the saddle. The only downside is perhaps the braking strength. It isn't great, but it's passable. My left side brake needs to be pressed a little more than the right side brake. Overall, it's probably the best bike I've owned and I'd recommend it.
