He wants $400 for the Scattante, said back in May he bought it brand new along with the trip computer and lights, and it was $700 after tax and everything. So $400 seems like a pretty good deal to me.
I like that the Scattante is nearly brand new, but as I stated earlier I don't know much about bikes. If anyone could help point out the differences between these two bikes and which bike you would be leaning towards in my shoes I would appreciate it.
Get the Scat; I think it is about as good as a bike you will get for $400 without resorting to Ebay. And contrary to what most others state, I think the Shimano Sora stuff works very well.
