Just bought myself a lovely GRVL 120 from Decathlon to get into it. Got it on sale, just before it seems it got discontinued, haven't picked it up yet though, so fully excited !
Now as a good cyclist aside from looking forward to riding it, I'm also looking forward to spend some more on equipment. I'd like to ask for feedback / suggestions on my thinking what I'd need.
I plan to use the bike for commuting (14km 1-way) and weekend trips, not that sporty yet, so smaller tours at the start 😉
My thoughts:
- Pedals: I already own some SPD shoes, so looking to buy SHIMANO PD-EH500 so be able to use it with these shoes for the tours and with regular shoes for commuting
- Bottle Holder: I would just get 2x cheap ones to put into the frame, e.g.: Decathlon bottle holder (they all look pretty similar)
- Mudguard: Specifically for the commute I feel I need one, was looking at SKS, but not sure which ones
- Something small bag and something for my phone, was looking at something Rockbros Frame Bag as it combines it and I don't truly know what I'll need
I hope that'll set me up for a succesful start, happy for feedback and suggestions! 🙂

Do you need to use the phone or just transport it?
With the mudguards, make sure you have enough clearance in the fork to fit full length mudguards. Otherwise you might have to fit something like the Zefal G50
