I have ridden the Evo since last fall. I think the 32 actually fits the bike quite nicely, plus it has tapered steerer and 15mm axle to reduce flex. Anyway, this is a good bike for people who want a light trail bike with slack angles. This bike really shines in descents when compared to "normal" trail bikes, making it good for faster riders. I had chance to compare my Evo to a Nomad mk2, and the head angle of Evo felt the same or maybe even slighly slacker, although the Nomad felt noticeably burlier. Only things you have to consider with Evo is the lowish BB because you have to avoid pedal strikes to rocks etc. And the wide bar (72cm) can catch trees and bushes on tight trails. And one thing about the FSR suspension: it relies on the shock to provide a pedalling platform. You can either use pro pedal to get bob-free rear end, but then the suspension isn't very active and plush. On open mode there is still some platform on Evo, but then it doesn't feel as efficient as DW Link rear (spent some time on Pivot Firebird).

What method did you use to strip the Saints of paint? And did you apply laquer afterwards?

Is the Angleset in neutral +-0 position?

That color is available atleast in Germany and Finland. Probably whole mainland Europe? In UK there is a red/black version instead.
