Probably from the same factories in Asia.
It has been said, on and off, that many bicycles are just massed produced and various colors and stickers applied. A basic design is rendered, produced using mass produced components and marketed out to the various distributors. You get the idea.
This changes somewhat when dealing with *name* companies; they have a design built to their specs instead of a generic model and call it special.
In the end, everything around a given price point seems fairly similar, except for paint and stickers.
I'm willing to bet the Vilano and Gavin share more than they differ.
Are they the same company? Probably not
