If it's a closeout then it's been closing out for at least over a year now.

I've bought some pretty nice Easton stuff from Nashbar for ~75% off. Usually it is something that is at the end of its lifecycle or has been updated with a newer version. When the difference between this year's model and last year's model is a couple hundred dollars, I'll take last year's model.

Easton also makes an Alum version of that bar for $89 I believe. Cant remember what I paid for mine.
I bought mine as soon as they came available. They work real well. I just couldn't afford to buy carbon.

"We took the shape and specs of our most popular road barthe EC90 SLX3 and used our second-tier carbon fiber for a more affordable package."

Could be a non-current product. that would help explain the reduced pricing. I found it by Google search, not through the website menu.
