Good morning, I’ve had my eye on the Epic Evo line for a while now. I’ve been racing gravel for 2 - 2.5 years now and I’m looking to dip my toe into the XC world. Seems like gravel and XC have a lot of similarities with the key difference being the technical ability you need for XC (I know some gravel races are really techy now too, but generally speaking).
I’ve got a GX derailleur and crank from a prior trail build sitting in the garage I can throw on it right away.
I’ve located the 2023 at the discounted $2400 sale price in my size, it’s about an hour to go get it but for the price I’m not seeing many bikes out there that will come nearly as race ready as this one.
Thoughts? I think I’m going to try and go snag it this afternoon.
