Interested in getting into cycling - where to start?

[Glorfindel]

Bike is starting to take Ironman shape.
I’ve got another 3D printed adapter coming to lift the rear bottles above the seat (currently can’t get to the bottom bottle), but otherwise that is my nutrition and hydration system sorted.
I’ll look to drop to 160mm cranks (currently using 170mm), otherwise that will be just about the bike done unless I need to change my chainring size or decide to splurge on completely enclosed arm rests and/or a full disc rear wheel (though I know a guy who rents wheels for events which might be easier).

Sorry to high jack the thread, looking at getting back into some fitness and starting with riding to work, roughly 20kms one way. Looking at a second hand bike and having trouble gauging whether the pricing is right so looking for some advice.

Bike is a 2019 Canyon CF 9 Roadlite - flat bar bike. Will be riding mainly bike paths, little road but no offfroad. Looking for something comfortable, light and able to stash in the back of the car easy enough.

He’s asking $1600 ono, he says he needs it gone so reckon I can knock a few hundred off.

In as new condition, looks hardly ridden.

The reviews sounds positive, just hard gauging price.
