Pros & Cons
Pros
Purchased for $449. Only $16 at *'s sporting goods, or amazon, but a slight inconvenience. I would definitely recommend it and the seller.
Straight from factory requires wheels to be trued, grease, other tuning for breaks and gearing. If you live in the dc metro area you know how bad construction always is and how roads are always cracked and how there are bumps everywhere. Shifts contin... Read More
It has all the little bells and whistles as any other road bike.
It's light and is easy to peddle. Seat is comfortable, i ride with no additional seat padding, just the chamois. Fast and very light.
Vilano has an excellent video on assembling the shadow. They’re simple and intuitive to use. Once out together, rode like a champ!
Cons
The rear wheel has a complete death wobble. Very cheep, don’t waist your time and money.

This bicycle presents good value for the money.
For the price this thing is excellent.

Its gear mechanism is of an older style but its quality shimano (sti integrated).
Price
For the price, you're actually getting a pretty decent road bike.
I’d say with everything i’ve done to it, total price is about 500.
Great bike for the price, very happy.
Shipping
Not slow, but not fast, which for me is perfect.
🤙🏼 by the way, i got this for less than $500 including shipping and tax.
Packaging/appearance
Once assembled everything worked great right out of the box.
Competitiveness
Came with everything needed and once out together, rode like a champ!
I put some compact bars on it, and a selle italia saddle.
A little less than 25lbs where the average road bike is around 18lbs.
Threw some clipless pedals on it as well.

In fact when pedaling along whether fast or slow all you hear from the bike is a little bit of whoosh from the tires … silence from the gears

It’s reasonably light but no it’s not as light as a 1000 bike

Sure but again it’s not a 1000 bike
