Description
Selling my Elops 540 City Bike (L/XL size) in teal blue, in excellent condition – barely used and stored safely indoors. I purchased this brand-new bike 6 months ago for £500, rode it less than 20 times (under 8 miles each ride), and quickly realised I don’t actually need it. I'm offering it now for £250, as I’d like it to go to someone who’ll use it.
This is a sturdy, comfortable urban bike built for regular city use, ideal for riders between 1.75m and 1.95m tall. It has a long frame and upright seating position, so it’s easy on the back and very pleasant to ride – you don’t need to lean forward much at all.
Size & Dimensions:
L/XL frame – suitable for riders between 1.75 m and 1.95 m tall (approx. 5’9” to 6’5”)
Long wheelbase and wide handlebars provide excellent control and stability
700 mm (28") wheels with balloon-style tyres for a smoother ride over bumps
Key Features & Specs:
7-speed Shimano Nexus hub gears – shift even when stationary, low maintenance, protected from wear
Steel double-butted frame – durable yet comfortable; absorbs vibration well
Dynamo-powered front and rear lights – automatic lighting, no battery charging needed
Anti-derailing system – gear hub system fully enclosed inside the rear wheel for reliability and smooth transitions
Ergonomic grips and wide saddle – adjustable for comfort, foam designed for pressure point relief
V-brakes – easy to maintain and reliable braking power
700x44 balloon tyres with reflective sidewalls – smooth, puncture-resistant ride with extra visibility

Front and rear racks – integrated rear rack supports up to 27 kg (fits child seat or panniers)
Reinforced kickstand and full chain guard – stable when parked and clean when riding

Max load – 100kg (rider + bike + load)
Can provide all documentation – purchase invoice, ownership confirmation, condition check – this bike is not stolen

This is a quality city bike that rides comfortably, is extremely low maintenance, and perfect for commuting or leisurely rides. The L/XL frame is long and stable – not suitable for smaller riders.
