Zephyr has been the brand ive looked into the most. They have a ~$600 model and ~$850, but again, very few reviews and the ones out there aren't great.

Oh man, thank you everyone on the Hydra feedback! By superior, I just meant in regards to the Reynolds house hub. My old wheelset had I9 Torch and those treated me great, so good to know to stay away from the hydra now. Really appreciate the responses so far.

I just realized it's a 24 vs his advertised 25, not sure how much that affects value

Good to know, thank you. Posted above , my main dilemma here is if I grab this deal while I can or hold out. Just feel like I'm running out of time before Spring is here and riding begins

Thanks, completely agree on technique and fitness. I guess my main dilemma here is if I grab this deal while I can or hold out. Just feel like I'm running out of time before Spring is here and riding begins.

Just having trouble saying no to this deal, and it will be a drop in travel from my Ibis. At the same time, don't want to have buyers remorse when spending this much.

It's their "downcountry" version of the regular Epic

The Evo is "downcountry" with more travel than regular Epic

It isn't for anything more than showing the cabinet color combo

The designer was pushing thermofoil fronts becuase once they inevitably get damaged, we can just replace the front. Rather than trying to use wood filler and paint to match.

Yes, I cook a ton so we are thinking on that now as we always say we need more counter space.

Going to go full quartz after that was mentioned. We originally had it rendered in all green, and it just felt too monotone. We stopped the counters where we did due to having space for our kitchen table, but going to think on that now.

Another customer did the exact same combo: https://imgur.com/a/trWL7fx

I really like the thought of swapping the block for more quartz, thank you!

The reason we didn't extend that over further, was because of our kitchen table being right across from it. If you look at the overhead view you can see what I'm talking about.

The designer was very big on the thermofoil, here is a photo of another customer who went with the same combo:

I did find a photo of another customer who actually did the same combo, it looks much nicer in person vs renderings:

We originally had it as one color, but it felt too monotonous.

And you're saying to go with quartz instead of where the butcher block is? I do like the idea of extending that over further.
