I rode my HM Evo most when I was in the high 140s/low 150s and the frame felt a little soft. I thought the handling was pretty telepathic; best I've experienced on a road bike in tight cornering. If you're looking at a first generation EVO, the price to performance ratio is unbeatable on the non HM frames and probably a better frame for a 2 buck plus rider. If you're thinking 2016 Evo, the HM may be fine as the BB is now BB30+ and beefier. Check this out:
