Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Caliper brakes have been used on bikes since they were invented and there were not many brake failures. Shifters work great, though i'll take it in to a shop for fine tuning. I think i do this more than i should lol.

I am very happy with it and recommend it to anyone like me, who’s pretty much a newbie in road bikes. It has a nice frame and decent components that can be upgraded as your skill level increases. It seems like a great starter bike!

This is a 14 speed bicycle that is designed for road use. If you aren't clipping in, the highest gear is probably high enough. This bike is great for a beginner and casual rider.

Highlights

Quality

Bike is easy to assemble, their customer service is great and overall the quality of the bike is great!

It took me about a half hour with the help of youtube videos to get the rear derailleur tuned perfectly, but it really is perfect now.

I suspect it’s likely to do with the inexpensive wheels.

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.

Great bike for the price, very happy.

I’d say with everything i’ve done to it, total price is about 500.

Shipping

🤙🏼 by the way, i got this for less than $500 including shipping and tax.

Not slow, but not fast, which for me is perfect.

Packaging/appearance

I didn't really know if cycling was really for me, but i've been having a blast since my first time out on the vilano shadow 3.

Once assembled everything worked great right out of the box.

Competitiveness

In 6 months i have put over 500 miles on it and competed in a sprint triathlon.

Came with everything needed and once out together, rode like a champ!

Don't try to climb with it either, it'll slip gears early and often.

Better to mess up a a bike at this price than a $1000+ bike.
