i hav an old caad 7 optimo i want to lighten up. i work at a bike shop where i get like either 40 or 60 percent of easton bike stuff. in comparison to other products is there something better with a price that justifies the weight?

wow - thats great, I think Easton bars, posts stems wheels etc are as good as anyhting else out there or better than most and at that discount I'd be willing to pay you for a set of bars if you can get the new slx3's! ??

I've run Easton Ec70 post on my mtb for 2 years now w no probs, though I originally thought I would only trust my Thomson, and used other parts for years and its the "standard" in my opinion against which I judge other brands.
