Vilano bikes is a small company down the road from me in St. Augustine. I've never actually seen one, but the parts list is really low end, so not sure what the results would be or how reliable it would be. Never heard of the Randall Scott bikes though the drive train seem to be higher up the Shimano food chain.

How do I learn about components and what is cheap and crappy and what is good?

Check out the Shimano, Campagnolo and SRAM sites. Also Sheldon Brown's site is a great reference and Road Bike Review has a great site for information and user reviews.
