What can I say? Galyan's made me an offer I couldn't refuse. I took the bike out for a spin today and had a blast. I was riding with some upright bikes and at one point asked how fast we were going. She told me 18 mph. I was surprised because I didn't think the Evox could go that fast. It IS pretty heavy! We went up a long incline with no problems (for me, at least). Then, a long hill with no problems. I even stopped halfway up to take photos and the restarting wasn't a problem. The only negative I had all day was that the uprights got going faster than my top gear could handle.
