Things like tires, spokes, wheels. Ideally good quality, but this is also for my shitty city bike. Durability over speed

Could always go to your local bike shop and ask them if they have some things lying around? Mine used to give me some tools he didn't need anymore and always had some spare parts that were still perfect

For older bikes there is dutchbikebits.com

It's not that expensive, decathlon is cheaper but you can find there parts for old POS bikes with good price.

I have used bike24.com and bike-discount.com, both German online stores. Neither of them have solely European stuff, though

These are a little bit high end ๐Ÿ˜‚. My bike is a โ‚ฌ35 granny pulled out of the canal.

Perhaps at Rose Bikes the parts you're searching for are cheaper.

If your budget is that low, then the only place is local second hand shops.

You can find some cheaper stuff there too, just select size and sort from lowest price

I mean, you could just order from decathlon? If you're fishing bikes out of canals, you probably even have a brick and mortar decathlon near you.
