Eastern certainly played their cards right when they gave the Ace of Spades a full chromoly frame and fork, Lightning Rod down tube and components that can take beating without weighing you down. They don't gamble with your specs either, check out the Bi-Rectional rear hub with 1-piece driver that can be left or right hand drive, replaceable 990 brake mounts and rear Tektro U-brake. And, this rig is replete with hard-core original Eastern gear like the Choker II stem, tubular chromoly Stealth cranks and nice, big 8.25-inch chromoly riser bars.
