Bike packaged pretty much the same as all the "Brand" name companies. I find that you get your moneys worth for this bike. The frame's welds are very clean as well as the paint job. After I assembled it, I took a quick test ride:- Ride quality is very nice.- Accelerates as expected with this gearing- Brakes are solid (levers and calipers)- Nice crankset- Very good job on the handlebar tape (comes installed on the handlebars, not all companies do that).- Wheelset is pretty true.- Wheels have rim tape installed.- Wellgo plastic pedals with cro-moly spindle.- Decent seatpost with single bolt adjustable mount, not a cheap bolt through clamp steel post.Just minor things to mention:- Chain looking like it's spray painted- Chain does not come lubed- Tires are pretty cheap, but decent quality inner tube with presta valve- Brake pads were 2 different style, front was allen bolt and the rear was nut posted.- The handle bars inside diameter is very small. I added a set of Nashbar bar end brake levers and they would not fit with the expansion sleeve on. I end up taking the sleeve off and used just the expansion plug. Used a rubber mallet and banged it into the handle bars.- Saddle is pretty cheap, but hell what did I only pay for this ride??!Only thing I'm gonna do to it:- Mount a decent used pair of GrandPrix 4000 that I have sitting around.- Switch to reverse brake levers. I'm just use to my Cervelo P2C TT bike.

First off, the bike came earlier than expected but the packaging wasn't proper to completely protect the bike itself. Mine had a couple scratches on the frame, crank, and inner rim.The setup was easy enough since the rear wheel came attached (in which it was set up for the free wheel, I had to flip the wheel for the fixed gear)As for the bike, it rides great and has a good gear ratio for riding in the winter and will be a great workout for my road bike.I feels like it is worth more and I am willing to put more money into it.

Where to start? Not going for flow, here's some points. For 270 or whatever I paid, I'm not disappointed in this bike. That said, all my other bikes are $3,000+ bikes and so the perspective may be a little off. I think if you think a 600 dollar bike (the list price) should be amazing, you may be disappointed. I bought this to have a cheap fixie/single speed for rolling around Toronto, that I wouldn't scream bloody murder if it got stolen or damaged, and that I can ride at Mini-Drome next weekend.Unlike other buyers who had complaints about the shipping condition of this an other Vilanos (ie box in rough shape, scratches, etc.) I had no issues - bike arrived in an intact box two or three days early. There were stand-offs in all the right spots to keep the bike from getting beaten around in the box - it was well packed.Assembly was easy, if you know anything about bikes you don't need the video (there is no manual)The headset is running a little rough, but not bad.The whole bike is pretty heavy due to steel frame and deep dish wheels, but it rolls nicely.The bike looks good, as good as the pictures. The fit is a little funny - I don't have it completely set up yet but I feel like I've got too much weight forward, even though my saddle is appropriately placed front to back and I'm not otherwise uncomfortable. Might just need to bring the saddle down a little.The wheel ajustment is easy, and it takes about 30 seconds to switch from fixie to single speed, provided you have the tools with you.The brakes, as most say, aren't worth anything. But a cheap set of replacements will be easy. Actually, I feel like I'll probably be eventually be replacing the wheels and steering assembly on this bike too, but it runs well out of the box. Mostly I'd like a wider handlebar, and I'd replace the headset and might as well the stem too at that time. The bars are well taped, I don't expect them to come apart anytime soon.The wheelset, unlike other Vilano reviews, worked fine out of the box. Wheels were true, spokes were not bad (will need a tune soon), and the rubber fit the rim nicely and I haven't had any trouble in about 4 hours of riding. I've been in fixie mode though, so no comments on the freewheel mechanism.The pedals are definitley being replaced. I've been riding them upside down because I'm too lazy to take the straps off. Will run clipless mtb I think.Anyway, I was in a rush to buy this bike. There are lots of fixes out there, but this one was the 'right now' and accpetable bike. I'm not disappointed and given a do-over, there is a strong chance I'd buy this bike again.Cheers.
