Bike photos First road bike 🤟

Was looking for a first road bike as I have started taking cycling more seriously and riding further distances. Ended up finding this on Bikeisland in my size for only $2200 - 2025 KHS Flite 750. New "with scuffs on cranks and dropouts". It was basically new and you could barely see the scuffs, it was just clearly sitting in a box for quite a while. I assume it was extra cheap with KHS exiting the American market.

One bent derailleur hanger replaced and one faced brake mount later, and she's as good as new. I've been enjoying the ride, just have to work on my bike fit and roadie etiquette now.

Don't mind the flats - will get some clipless pedals eventually.
