Which would you get? I'm getting a TCR Advance 2, and rather than upgrade to the Advance 1 I'm going to upgrade the aksiums (I'm not desperate for Force or Ksyriums).

I can get any Eastons at trade, so which ones? I race and do a few TTs at a lowish level, am 75kg/194cm and live in a reasonably hilly area (County Durham).

I'm tempted by the EA70's, but are they worth the upgrade over the EA50's? And the EA90 Aero's look pretty cool...

Advice gratefully recieved :)


p.s. I've read just about every easton review under the sun before posting as I know the forum gets clogged up with these questions...

    Yup there ain't much of me. Helps on the climbs, but isn't great into the wind! Do you ride with Cambridge cc?
