I've only had my Evo Hi-Mod a few months and have really enjoyed riding it, as the reviews suggest it's a great jack of all trades. 56 is fine but having bought it I'm confident I'd have been okay on a 54 also.
And then a dealer popped a Nano up included an SISL2 with both size Spiderings at a price hard to ignore, just what I need with a big hilly event in the near future. Was debating on buying an SISL2 for the Hi-Mod in any case.
Couldn't resist, now waiting for a few more tools to arrive before hopefully begining the build next week.
On to important stuff...
Fork uncut - 309g (Hi-Mod 325g)
Frame in 54 inc hardware - 749g - ex hardware - 703g (bottle bolts/mech hanger/cable guides/seatclamp/frame protector) (will weigh the Hi-Mod and update when stripped)
There is one discernible difference so far. If I squeeze the Hi-Mod top tube at any point vertically between thumb and forefinger there is a little give, it depresses very slightly. It doesn't on the Nano
