This is my first time even posting on this board but this is exactly what I need help with too. I'm a college student who needs a bike for commuting a short distance over smooth and mostly flat paths but during all seasons in the PNW. I thought that since the paths are smooth and I mainly care about getting there as fast as possible to make my early sports practice a road bike would be most apt. Do you all agree? I've been eyeing some used ones on CL but don't have enough expertise in the matter yet to decide. Could I post some listings to get some opinions? Pictured is a vintage one my size from a local shop that I was considering. It's $399 but comes with a year of maintenance which would help me as someone who knows next to nothing about maintaining and fixing bikes. I could realistically spend up to about $600 I think.
