Great bike for the price. Well built with plenty of features.
This was my very first bicycle that I've bought brand new and actually spent good money on and ordered online and had shipped to me. I was very skeptical about buying a bicycle sight unseen and so I did a ton of research on and offline for a bicycle long before I went ahead and ordered this one. I've always liked the styling and handling of a hardtail bike and I pretty much had my mind made up as far as the features that I wanted my bicycle to have. I knew for sure that I wanted to have full disc brakes front and rear, and I wanted to have at least a 21 speed shifting. I knew I wanted some kind of front suspension and when I narrowed my selection choices down to a few bicycles, I had this one, a Vilano Blackjack 3.0 29 inch, and a Diamondback Bike in my crosshairs. By the time that my funds hit my bank account and I could finally place an order on Amazon for the bike I wanted, both the Vilano Blackjack 3.0 and the runner up Diamondback bike I had my eyes on sold out in the size and specifications I wanted. When it came down to ordering this bike, it came in a few different color schemes but of course the black and lime green color scheme sold out before I could order it and my only choices were the white and red scheme or the black and yellow scheme, so I picked the latter of the two. I placed my order back in May 2018 and within about ten days via free standard shipping, the bike arrived. Fast forward to today, September 26th, 2018, since I put an odometer on the bike before I started riding it, I've already tallied up almost 350 miles on the bike so far, and everything is holding up just fine. I've since had to replace the OEM tires as the Chaoyeng tires that came on it went bald from the excessive amount of riding I've done. I've since mounted a set of Continental Mountain King 2 27.5" x 2.2" tires on it and it gives the bike a more off-road aggressive styling. I have since swapped out the original stem with an adjustable height and angle stem to raise the handlebars height. I also switched out the OEM handlebar grips for lock-on grips and added full-bar ends for added brushguard protection against hitting obstacles and obstructions along the trails. I also added a seatpost mounted luggage rack and a lighting set, along with aftermarket nylon off-road cleat pedals. Overall, I'm very pleased with the bike and I'm looking forward to many more miles with it.

Good bike for a good value
So far been pretty happy with the bike and the price. Was really easy to put together, as it only took 20 minutes. bike is quite solid and vary light. The price does reflect some short cuts they took on quality. The seat will need an upgrade as will the reflective lights. Not sure how long the quick releases will last. The tires are thick enough for some off road adventure. Never installed the bike stand, figured that was a waist of space.
