What is the difference between this bike and this: http://www.amazon.com/Vilano-Performa...

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.

I don't know. It was purchased as a gift and think he had a standard bicycle. I was told what to get. lol

Hi,This cycle won't stack up against the pro bike you're used to 100%. For the price, it's just not possible. BUT, with that being said, I personally haven't found a pro bike that it doesn't stack up to based on price and quality. I've had mine for a while now. Not only was set up easy (roughly 45 mins as the previous user stated) but it has been working exceptionally well since I bought it. You are most likely used to a bit more in terms of bells and whistles, but this bike cuts that out (lowering cost) while maintaining amazing quality. I would sincerely recommend this bike to anyone; it has been that great of an experience having one. Hope this helps! Hi,This cycle won't stack up against the pro bike you're used to 100%.

I would recommend a higher end bike for competition. This is a good starter bike and it is great for exercise or recreation, but it is simply not on par with Shimano or Fuji. It will do in a pinch, but I is not ideal.

Problem with this model schwinn & some of their other low-cost models like the volare is they do not give specific frame dimensions.. I have a 29" inseam, and when I stand with my feet on the ground above the frame on the volare, I just barely clear the top frame rail.. I have measured the seat post to crank pedal and it comes in at 18"..20" is approx. 51cm in bike talk,and a frame size considered small ok for someone my size,but probably not right for you..Schwinn offers similiar bikes based on the same design at walmart on-line( Varsity models)too bad about the bike sizing info,the volare has been a great value performing bike!

It is just the training wheels. For a good Honda or other name bike used plan on spending about $1,000. You can find them for cheaper but they usually need lots of work and don't buy the knockoff Chinese bikes. Stick with Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki, or KTM.

As for packaging, mine looked like crap but the bike was fine. The pedals are regular pedals that you can get almost anywhere if you don't like them... Do make sure you look at the designation on the pedals and put them on the correct side or you will strip them out. You can always reject the shipment (if you are there to receive it) if the bike is haging out of it. Or Amazon is really good about refunds.

The best way to find all the differences is to go to Yamaha's site and download the user manual. It is for both models and you will see the features that one has versus the other.

I don't think there is a big difference. I read some reviews and I know that the front wheel on the older model is a double wheel. I honestly don't remember the other differences but the reviews are really helpful so have a look!

I purchased my through Amazon strictly because I wanted it delivered somewhere specific. But Walmart would be a better choice for two reasons. 1 the bike comes assembled which is not hard to do but you do need a little bit of mechanical ability to make proper adjustments. The second reason is for sizing which I did not do and found out the bike is a little taller than I prefer.Hope this helpChris

Because they don't care Mark. This bike has serious design flaws and is stocked with sub standard parts from China and Pro Form makes (Made) a lot of money off this bike. I wish I had never purchased mine. I suggest you put a complaint on their FaceBook Page, you might get some help to repair one if you own it but they will not refund your money, it's gonna take a class action lawsuit for that to happen...sorry

In my opinion the photo that's featured on the Amazon website is out of date. The reason I am saying this is because you'll notice that the spoke wheel on Amazon is also a 3-spoke wheel whereas on Mesa's website it's a 5-spoke wheel. It could be that Amazon itself is selling an older model as well and that's why there's a significant difference in price between Amazon and everyone else. I can tell you for a fact that when you place an order with us you will receive whatever is featured on the Mesa website as that is the most up-to-date source and that's where we ship from - all of our products are manufacturer direct. If you are still unsure you can call the Mesa customer service line at 1-888-381-8514. In my opinion the photo that's featured on the Amazon website is out of date.

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.

Although I purchased the Men's version, there is very little difference. I am very happy with this bike. It is extremely lite in weight and remains pretty rugged. It picks up speed with little effort and I love the ride. The only complaint I have is the tire tube needed replacement after only several Months.

BMX refers to the style. It's a dirt bike with knobby tires. Unlike some bikes that have smooth street tires. As far as I can tell, the handlebars are not any further away, but they are adjustable, as is the seat height. It's a good, tough little bike. If you have a kid that you think is going to ride the heck out of their bike, this is the bike. We're still happy with ours...

Morning,Thanks for the inquiry! Sorry for the confusion but that is an A to B bike for the rider who wants to get from point A to point B while maintaining the BMX feel, we wouldn't recommend it for racing. Have a great day!
