I don't really know. The Eastern seems a little bit better, and since it's new, you know there's nothing wrong with it besides that it's not full chromoly. On the other hand, the Haro comes with a Haz Lite.

dude just go with whatever seems right to you. new and a little bit more green ( or whatever the color of the money is in Canada ), or you go with something a little older. cheaper, but you never know if something is going to go wrong. it all depends on your preferences.
