Easton EC-90 Aero Fork	Can't Post

I just ordered the Easton EC90 Aero fork, since I broke my stock QR Carbonaero when I collided with a dog Sunday. Was this a good decision? The price that my LBS is giving me is incredible compared to what I have seen it sold for, so I went ahead and ordered it.

I have an EC-90 Aero on my P3 and I like it very much. WE suspect it may have raised the front of the bike slightly but no worries so far- it is the much bally-hooed "Bjorn" bike.

Very fun.

I don't have anything that extravagant, I ride a Tequilo.

Tom,

Do you mean the fork is physically longer? If so, by how much?

I finally got my bike back with the upgrades. Here is a picture of what it looks like with my race wheels on.

hm....

I guess you are not against comments if you post the picture, right?

I kind of don't like the blue-red mix too much, in fact that's an under statement, I think it's real ugly. Sorry but that's just my very subjective point of view.

How about painting the fork, change the saddle, take the stickers off the wheels and use a black waterbottle?

Or, use a QR neo sattle cover, get z3 stickers from zipp, and paint the fork.

Consider getting a new fork:-)

PS: I ordered one of those Easton aero forks too, how do you like the ride?

I actually like the Red/White/Blue combo. I am doing a little more red on the bike to tie in the accents.

The ride is incredible compaired to the QR Carbonaero that it replaced. The old fork was full carbon also, but the easton almost feels like I have a shock up front. I did a 60 mile ride today and it just felt soooo soft.

I think you will be happy with yours, I am!

Easton had (has) a sale on these forks that if you trade in ANY fork, they will sell the aero for like $299 or something. I ordered mine even though I still dont know what bike Im getting.

Make sure you don't get a blue bike:-)

Make sure you complete the deal before the end of the month, because that easton special is over after that.

I think it's 329, no?
