Scattante Americano vs. SE Draft
I just found 2 more single speed bikes that are available near me. The Americano is 400$ (on sale) and the Draft is $250.
Can anyone that has these bikes shed some light on them for me? Like I said in my other post, my commute is 2 miles through Baltimore on crappy roads/sidewalks with occasional curb hopping.
Thanks,
Dennis

Off the top of my head (from having friends who own both and being able to ride them) the Americano is hands down better than a SE draft; the SE draft is out of its league when put in comparison. Hence the price difference.

One thread comparing 5 different bikes would be a bit much, no?
They are all in my price range and they are all available at local shops. I want to purchase locally so I can get the 2 years of free service. Is there a different 400$ singe speed you'd recommend?

I was going to say there are dozens more in that price range, but if you're buying locally and those are the only options, I don't know what to tell you. Everyone here would love 2 years of free maintenance, but the fact is, your bike doesn't explode that easily, and trips to the LBS are a pain. You should learn how to maintenance your bike yourself anyhow. Buy a Kilo TT hehe.

I was at Performance today and the Americano was on clearance for $299 and 10% off on clearance priced items.
