Pros & Cons
Pros
Vilano feels comfy for my height. The only thing i've upgraded are the pedals which were the only part of the bike that seemed cheap. I relearned riding with no hands, after a bit of practice and adjusting to the thinner tire, it is possible.
Great bike for beginners. The frame is good quality and welds look pretty good. Bad chain ring is the only issue i got.
Cons
This bike has a lot of defects. The front derailleur is impossible to adjust. Couldnt even really work up the speed to even need brakes. Couldn't get the front brake to work properly. The rear brake is a major defect.
Highlights
Quality
Over all i'm pleased with the bike and i look forward to upgrading some components and improving the bike.
We added another with the clip-on style bottle holder.
Price
Runs and looks great for its class and price.
Packaging/appearance
Bike arrived exactly as described in great packaging and condition!
6) the pedals did not look bad, so they are on my old bike now (i have bike clips that i use on the vilano).
2) vilano takes good care of their shipment, it shows in the packaging (second picture).

I trained and completed a triathlon with it.
But after lightly lubricating them to stop the squeal, they weren't stopping the bike.
