The Vilano Shadow - My Road Bike
Here's the deal. You can spend whatever you want when purchasing a road bike, and ultimately the only person who matters when deciding which bike to buy is you. You can seek the advice of others and you can spend hours going over the pros and cons of the bikes you are considering. You'll find you will have "bike envy" along the way and there's nothing wrong with that, just keep your head when making your choice.
For me, it was all about the sport of cycling and less about the equipment. Did I make the right choice? I think I did. I spent a modest amount on my road bike and threw in another 90 bucks for better tires. And within a 10 week period I rode the bike over 1,000 miles-which is to say I enjoy riding the bike. It works well for me and is very dependable.
My road bike is a Vilano SHADOW. It has two chain rings (50/40) and 7 cogs on the cassette (14,16,18,20,22,24,28). The Vilano SHADOW is an affordable entry level road bike well suited for commuting, exercise / fitness, or club rides. Shimano STI brake lever integrated shifters, a lightweight 6061 aluminum frame ( approximate weight is 23lbs) with an integrated headset and even ships with free pedals. The Shimano STI shifters offer precise and controllable braking and shifting in a convenient single unit designed for the road. The Vilano SHADOW is an excellent entry level road bike.
I purchased my bike from an online store and with free shipping it cost me less than $325.00.
