second one for sure as well

the easten looks sketchy

horrible tires and very small and heavy bars...which are chicagoed

8 spline cranks arent all that great also

the whitton also has dialed colors compared to the other

Number 2 is the winrar.

I don't like the whole potato peeler seattube. Or the lightweight > strength side of things. Not to mention the undersized sprocket & driver.

The weight is nice on the first, but compromises have been made that I don't agree with.
