That was the best Roscoe review I have seen!! Been looking at getting my hands on a Roscoe 8 for a while now. So yeah just ordered a Large Matte Black/Olive 8. Thanks for the great review
I bought my Trek Roscoe 8 in May of 2020 in the Marigold Fade and loved that color scheme, but due to a crack along the weld at the seat stay/seat tube junction I now have what is technically a 2021 X Caliber frame in mat black w/ white and silver decals. Like you I have made a few changes: 40mm Race Face Affect Stem, 780mm wide 35mm clamp RF Affect bar, clipless pedals (I have been riding clipless for nearly 30 yrs), saddle to a Shimano Pro Turnix (came off my road bike), Grips to RF Getta Grip in 33mm, currently running Vittoria Martello 27.5 x 2.8's (They're a trail/enduro oriented tire, but I ride alot of rock) , and upgraded the Fork to a Rockshox Revelation 120mm (the Gold 35 kept having major issues with maintaining pressure or just collapsing like it had zero air). I know Trek has upgraded the newer Roscoe to a more current geometry, but I am still super happy with my current one. It does everything I need and more. The best bike is the one you have that makes you want to ride, and my Roscoe is it for myself. Since there isn't a model name on the replacement frame Trek sent me, I call mine a Roscoe X. Sorry for rambling, I enjoy your content, and definitely enjoy seeing the scenery you get when riding.
Fantastic review. I got my self a ROSCOE 6, absolutely love it, great on the Manx trails, need to get out more but looking forward to seeing what it is like once the trails get wetter this winter.
Thank you for this epic review, really helped me decide, you got another sub, and ive just ordered the 2023 roscoe 8 in matte black olive green with the red decals, so excited but i need some stuff to compliment it, can you post the links where you got your stuff from, frame protection, mud guard's, bars etc, will help me a lot, bike arrives next week, thanks again and keep making these awesome reviews, your smashing it
Roscoe is really fun and durable. i've got 4000km's/2500miles on my roscoe 8 '21 model. I did find the front tooth ring too small for faster flatter roads, so i put one bigger on it. Yours still look brand new, nice!
Sound like fun, I'm getting exactly dryer same Roscoe, same color same year brand new next week, can you share your upgrade I would like to do the same thing after finishing stock 27.5 2.8 stock tires.
Hello, Thanks for this review! I am willing to’ buy the roscoe 8 2023 my. I was wondering how hard and it is to cycle on roads, specially in climbing…. Thanks for any suggestion
Love this video I watched like 3 times in the last two weeks. I just bought this Roscoe same year 2021 with same color. Only problem for me is the HUB noisy and even worse the engagement is terrible. First I am going to expend some money on the frame protection since I LOVE the paint color on this bike and to protect it a s much as I can and then going to save for the new hub. Pedals suck! BTW... All stock bicicle pedals suck. One again great video, you definitely were one of the reason to go with my Roscoe
Es una bicicleta excepcional, comparto mucho tus apreciaciones y déjame decirte que la tienes bien personalizada, me gusto mucho la protección del marco que le pusiste me gustaría saber si eso lo puede hacer uno o necesita de alguien profesional.
