Welcome gary . Look forward to hearing more about the af720, so do post up your experience. I always think of the af720 as the bike that Decathlon never discounts, which at very least suggests it's a solid fixture in their road bike line up, even though it's been available for a while now.

Not sure we have much previous experience shared by af720 owners (have we had any on here for more than the odd post??) to help you in considering if that's possible. EDIT - there's a post on this Cyclechat forum that suggests someone has managed to put 28mm tyres on their 720af. Unfortunately they don't specify which type of tyre and not all 28s are the same. www.cyclechat.net/threads/btwin-ultra-720-af.208276/Likewise, the comments section on this owner's review video suggests tyres up to 28mm can be fitted but no details given. youtu.be/26lSSJa8QwM
