Check the ship weights - 65 Lbs. vs. 25 Lbs. - the Vilano appears to be a much lighter bike.

This Vilano has linear pull brakes, or V-brakes, (used on hybrids and mtn bikes) which are much better than the Performance Commuter's caliper brakes(used on road bikes). The Vilano may use caliper brakes but the Performance Commuter cannot use linear pull brakes (due to lack of mounts). But you can get the expensive dual-pivot caliper brakes that can match the performance of linear pull brakes.

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.

Yes.FYI, 700C is the standard size diameter for a road bike wheel.23 mm is the tire width. A wheel that will take 23 mm tires will also take 25 mm, maybe 28 mm (or larger); although you bike frame or fork may not have clearance for larger sizes.

i chose the 54mm and it is larger than a bike store owner suggested, but it works for me. probably a 50mm or 52mm would be ideal if they have it. warning, any time you crash, you've got a good chance to mess up your handlebars, they're not very solid. cheap brakes, and take care of your wheels, they're easy to mess up too, can get out of true very easily in any crash/accident. i like my bike, it gets me where i want to go fast, but know that it is the cheapest option for a roadbike.

700c's are a continental size for road bikes. They are the same size a 29ers.Never seen a road bike with 26" before in the UK. They are normally 700c. Best check the size again on the side of the tyre. Also important to get the right width. Too narrow and you will still get punctures. I've just refitted mine after sanded down one end so there is no longer a 'square edge' as it caused a puncture.

Its a 700c or 27". Its for a road bike. I've had one on my cannondale for over 1000 miles and I'm still happy.

the difference is $37.55.......... sorry I couldn't resist. seriously I'm not sure. I looked at the product description. the less expensive one weighs 8 ounces and has a shipping weight of 2 pounds. the more expensive one does not provide any product dimensions, but it does state that the shipping weight is 11 pounds. my guess is that the more expensive one is heavier and probably more sturdy and meant to support bigger bikes/heavier loads. I got the less expensive one, and for me it has worked. I use it on a hybrid bike. I put on a bike rack and carrier bags and use the bike to go grocery shopping. the stand I have works well. but it is necessary to balance the carrier bags, with fairly equal weight on each side. if unbalanced the stand will not support the bike, the bike will tip over. but I imagine that even with the heavier stand, you might encounter the same problem if only one side of the bike is loaded with heavy items.

In my experience they have about the same range. They both use the same motor and battery. The only difference is that the SS motor is factory set to run up to 28 mph. If you were to put both bikes on a flat surface and run them at max you would go a few miles further with the SS. But rarely do you run at full throttle all the time when riding normally. Kind Regards Jack

2013 is geared and 2014 is a single speed. Get the 2013! You will have a difficult time getting replacement wheels with either if they get run over or bent! Diamondback does a poor job in supporting this bike!

According to Khrome Werks the 300043 is 2" taller than the 300042. Both are Heritage style which make turns easier. I am 6'2" and ride with the 300042 bars they are comfortable and I didn't have to change any of my cables.

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..

It's rated to only 12-32 with a 41 tooth capacity: http://bike.shimano.com/publish/content/global_cycle/en/us/index/products/road/ultegra/product.-code-RD-6800-GS.-type-.rd_road.html . Capacity is the maximum sum of the differences on the front and the rear for example 12-32 rear and 34-48 front is 20 + 14 requires a 34 tooth capacity. So you're good on the capacity, likely, but exceed the maximum rating. Some people go well over the Shimano ratings, which are conservative to assure optimal performance, but at some point you hit trouble and it simply won't shift. One approach is to use a smaller little cog in the front. For example, I have 32-48 on one of my bikes, which in combination with a 12-32 gives me a 1:1 gear which should be good for steep dirt roads.

I am trying to decide too....The big differences I can see are the oversized pedals, backlit display, and a "better" seat. I tried the 230 at a store today...was pretty loose..but I do not think they built it very well and it has been super abused.Decisions, decisions!

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???
