What is the difference between this bike and this: Vilano Performance 700c-21 Speed Shimano Hybrid Flat Bar Commuter Road Bike, White, 58cm
59820
This bike mostly has the same cheap components as the one I bought. The frame is similar but slightly different. It looks like this bike has better trigger shifters and a better rear deraileur. If so, it may be worth the difference in price. If you live near a large university and you can hold off until May or June, there are good deals to be had from students selling their bikes at the end of the school year.

I looked at the pictures of the Vilano bike and I can see where the difference in price is. It looks like you would pay more, and you will get more. I own the "Hybrid Performance Bike", and it is doing what I was wanting it to do.

This Performance brand uses caliper brakes (used on road bikes), while the Vilano Hybrid uses the much better, linear pull brakes (used on hybrids and mountain bikes). This Performance bike wont allow for a linear brake upgrade. But you can get the expensive dual-pivot caliper brakes that can match the performance of linear pull brakes.

Tire size (apart from brakes) is also different according to the description. This one uses 700x25c and the other uses 700x28c

The only difference that I can see is this frame has a name on it. And the frame on the bike I have has no frame. I believe it was made for shimano by the same people. All the equipment seems to be the same.

The only differences are color and price. The Tenda model is white and costs twenty dollars less.

Don't know, can tell you this though. I bought two and both are out of commission. Cheap build, didn't last one trip. Go with Shimano or Penn

BTW, we'd highly recommend getting the Stealth PBO wheels vs the Stealth SS. The PBO spokes are incredibly strong and also absorb vibration like few others. They make the bike much smoother over rough surfaces.

I ordered two of these bikes for my twins birthday last April (one green and one purple) I can't remember for sure, but I think there is a something on the box that says bike. To be sure I would contact the company and ask. I had to contact them and asked a question about shipping and they got back to me the same day. They have excellent customer service. Also this bike is great!!! We took it to our local high end bike store to get a flat tire fixed. All the workers had to come over and check it out. They said they have never seen this brand and were HIGHLY impressed with the quality of all the parts on the bike. They also kept telling my son how cool it was.

Not to my knowledge.....different models may be different sizes but this particular bike only comes in the one size. The whole idea is that it is compact....however, the handle bars and seat accommodate almost every size. This is a great bike. It is built solid and rides like a dream.....it is geared so well that you forget you're on a folding bike with smaller than usual tires. I took mine to the local bicycle shop for the minor assembly that was needed but if you're handy and knowledgeable about bikes there's no reason you couldn't do it yourself. Bottom line: I love my bike! It performs as well as the top of the line Trek it replaced and I've not had one moment of regret!

Hi Michael, I am confused also, when I bought them Feb 2014, they were silver and were called Shimano Ultegra and now the picture has changed, they are black and silver and now called Shimano Dura-Ace which is a different and more expensive shifter! The price is correct for an Ultegra but a Dura Ace would be much more expensive. However they both look the same and i love my Ultegra shifter. I am sure for this price you will get the Ultegra in Silver. Mine came from a different supplier so you might check with this new supplier to confirm what you'll get. Dura Ace or Ultegra, silver or black/silver. Since I purchased the picture changed and so did the named but the price is the same???

I've recently bought Dimension 700c Hybrid Fork. Inexpensive, and it is better than my stock fork. Unless, of course, you want to upgrade to carbon.

I haven't compared the two. I have used my Sunny spin bike extensively and it still gives me a great workout. I did have to repair the pedal once when I basically peddled so much it came loose , but I was able to repair and now it is as good as new.

Sorry I don't know. But I can tell you we bought this bike for our teenage son this summer and we liked it so much we bought a second one for the family. It's comfortable, light and great on and off road.

If you have 700c wheels order the tire size you normally ride or go be the rim wheel specs, they usually have a range. Sounds like you are already using 700 x 35 c tires. The smaller the number the less rolling resistance and the faster and more agile the tires, which translates the bike performance. Just want to warn you, these a German made clinchers and they are tight an a bit tough to put on initially but well worth the time and money. Good luck and RIDE ON..

The thread is most likely different because this a gum wall 27 inch tire and not a regular 700c. You can ride these at lower pressure but that's not always advantageous. they have less rolling resistance and better handling but are way thinner. You will get flats. I havs gotten flats from staples and thorns. These have a great look for a restoration project for city touring. If you want to be indestructible. Go for some Gatorskins. They don't look as good but flats are far more rare. I believe there are also Panaracers with Kevlar.

I have 700c on my hybrid. I think its a compromise tire. I toured Idaho this year and was able to leave other road bikes at will. My only complaint is that i think the tires i got from the Amazon seller were old stock with dry rot after just one year.

I'm sorry, but I can't answer your question. I bought that bike as a gift for my grandson who lives in another state, and all I know is that he got it and he loves it!!

It looked to me like they copy and pasted the description of the bike. I would go by the topic heading. If the single speed is your preference then disregard the description where it refers to 3 speed details. The description simply needs proof read. I received the exact bike as in the topic heading (sixthreezero Men's In The Barrel 3 speed bike). My topic made reference to having fenders. It did not. Again, this was another example of not proof reading the description. Regardless of the description, it is a great bike. I hope this helped. Have a great day!
