KHS aluminum frames
just bought a used flite 300. opinions? is the frame(7005 aluminum) worthy of upgrading parts as old ones wear out. thanks

I don't own one, and have never been on one but a friend/riding buddy of mine just got a Flight 500 about a month ago and she raves about it. She had a Fuji before this bike. Yes, the frame is worthy of upgrading parts as they wear, but what are you worried about wearing out? Other than chains and cassettes everyting else should last many years.

They were a mid-price point, Taiwanese manufactured brand sold through IBDs that got pulled under by the bankruptcy of another company in the late 90's. I guess they resurfaced.

i like the bike. frame is stiff and the ride a tad harsh but the bike is responsive and agile. i was talking about upgrading to a 105 set-up and a solid wheelset. thanks

The 300 is an entry level bike from a "value" brand. There is nothing wrong with that, but unless you need to replace a part to keep it functional you will do better to save your money and buy a whole new or used bike when the time comes.
