i ride a steel frame, but i'm looking into replacing my wheels with a stiffer set (probably ksyriums) for more positive cornering, and hoping that i can even things out a bit (and trim a few grams) by replacing my bars and post with easton EC70 post and 90 bars.
who's riding these? do you like em? did you pick another bar/post over the easton? how has durability been, and if you've crashed them, any problems?
thanks...

My easton CF seatpost holds my seat as good as any other. And its light too ;).

I LOVE my Easton components!!! I am currently riding a EC70 CF seatpost, EC70 stem, EC90 CF bars and an EC90 superlite fork. They have all been a dream. Very little to no flex from the bars. The seat post is very light and dampens road vibrations quite a bit. The fork is currently being installed so ill see how it performs today.
So far durability is great. I have hit some major potholes and everything has held up. I say go for it if you want to shave a few grams and like the look of CF. Plus it looks sexy!

excellent... that's the reply i was hoping for (any others are certainly welcome, though!). there are some glowing words on roadbikereview and elsewhere, and it sounds like these are a good value for the money (i mean... relatively).
the ec70 posts are going for ~60 on ebay and the ec90 bars for ~100.
