Grant it my goal is to be just under 200#'s (@6'4") before spring. I live in michigan mainly flat and rolling hills. I like the eastons but which ones do I need I am budgeting for up to $1200 to spend on wheels but if I could get away with half of that and save $600 Id be happy. What do you guys recommend?
If you can find them, Zipp 404 Clydesdales can sometimes be found used for under $1200... Max rider weight is 275# and they're 1305g (tubulars). Definitely takes some searching in the used market to find some clydes.
