Hi Patrick, Well that's a good question. My ECR is newer with 1 x 11 Shimano XT everything including hydraulic disc brakes. It handles wider tires and has fork crown braze on's for various racks like the Surly 24 pack rack. The only negative the ECR has (IMO) are the horizontal drop outs but I'm getting used to them. With that said, they are both so similar and I just don't need overlap or more bikes in my garage than I need. It's the last of my heard to go even though I've been reluctant to sell. I'm just keeping my ECR for MTN riding, store shopping, touring and rainy days. The other bike I'm keeping is my Ritchey Ti Cross Breakaway which pretty much does everything else for me. My goal has always been to have one bike that does everything for me. I've been able to accomplish my goal with 2 bikes which isn't bad :)
