Hey Friend- ordered a Vilano by accident off of Amazon.com not two weeks ago. If you're curious and want to try it- you can get this for 200 bucks free shipping: Vilano Track Bike
However, it was way more work than I wanted. The brakes were scary- the wheels weren't quite aligned, and the lockring was free spinning out of the box. All in all, for the money, it was a bike, I did ride it, it got me places.
After about a week of dealing with its issues- I got sick of it. The wheels had been ever so slightly out of alignment when I ordered it- so Amazon, God bless it, returned it free of charge. Hell, they even paid for UPS to pick it up at my house. Did I mention I live in Hawaii?
If you're like me and just getting into it- I don't recommend it. I DID learn a ton about how a fixed gear functions from working on it. In the end I settled on a Kona Paddywagon from an LBS. Expensive? Unfortunately yes, but, as I learned the hard way, that extra cash results in a dramatically different ride.
Good luck on your decision.
they have a mounting hole? I'm not sure if we're talking about the same bike: http://www.amazon.com/TRACK-FIXED-FIXIE-SINGLE-SPEED/dp/B004WA8YQ6/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1407971168&sr=8-2&keywords=vilano+single+speed
the one that looks like a road bike is what I have (drop handle bars). If it's still the same bike that is awesome news!!
