@@TalalipopMTB I've been deciding between the seven or nine because the eight doesn't hit the mark on the drivetrain. Do you really think it's worth an extra $1,000 for the nine which has better Wheels Forks and brakes. I'm sort of a beginner cuz I haven't been out in a couple years I'm a little scared of the 32 mm stanchions on the sevens Fork but I'm not even sure if I'll notice it at first. Also I know if I was to upgrade the forks, Wheels and brakes it will be more than $1,000. Might be doing some more downhill than flats or UPS but definitely a mixture of everything. I think the seven should be good enough for me for now and then I can upgrade as Parts break or get worn out or I get better. It will cost more to upgrade the seven then to just buy the nine, IDK? What do you think?
@TalalipopMTB2 жыл бұрын
The stanchions on the 7 are fine in my opinion as long as you’re not jumping or riding really hard trails. The 9 will pretty much need no upgrades if you get that one, and then you can just focus on riding. I got the 7 personally so I could choose what parts to put on it but you’re right that it’s a more expensive route that way.

I actually just got a warranty frame on my Roscoe 8. When I heard it was coming in this black/silver I instantly thought of putting a Pike Ultimate on in the near future as well. In all I waited 9 months for the R8 to originally arrive, and another 6 months to get my warranty frame. Thankfully the original frame was still ride able for that 6 months of waiting, it just had an issue with the rear triangle making it extremely hard to put on the rear wheel if taken off. I'm glad so many people have had good experiences with the new Roscoe and I guess this success will mean Trek will continue to take trail hardtails seriously.

Haven't owned a bike since a teen and was kinda set on the new Marlin 8 before nerding on the specs and checking out the Roscoe linup. From the majority of reviews and comments on many many videos, the consensus seem to be that for the money the Marlin 8 should have some more modern upgrades that are basically all found in the new Roscoe 7. Better (more modern) frame, thru axels front and rear, tapered head tube, dropper post, better crankset and bottom bracket, etc. I think I'll likely just go this route (Roscoe 7) and have maybe too much bike for my needs and skill vs. buying inferior parts that I may need to upgrade and some of which are not possible with the Marlin frame and wheel set.

If you think you'll be comfortable riding on a hardtail though the roscoe is perfect!

It went together easily in less than an hour. kzbin.infoUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L Make sure the front fork is forward or the pedals will hit the front tire. Tires are both a little soft so it needs air before I ride it. The rear wheel didn't come with a clamp regular bolts hold it on. The front had the clamp. No scratches out of box. Rims are a little off with a slight wobble. They could have spent more time with the spoke tool fixing the run out. So far out of the box I'm happy with it. I did replace the pedals with a nice aftermarket set. After riding it a bit my A$$ is a bit sore so I ordered another seat. Overall I'm nearly 60 and didn't ride a bike in 30 years. I like my new 29" Schwinn. It will be used for casual rides with my friend.

Hey, man! Been binge watching your videos lately. I have decided to pick up a Trek Roscoe 7 2022 too! The only problem I encounter is that the only size I can find here locally at the Philippines is in the size M/L. I have a height of 165 cm, so it's around 5'4 to 5'5. My inseam is 77 cm, so it's around 30 inches. Will I still fit in the M/L size? My other concern is that although I haven't test ride the bike, I might have to lower the seat post to its lowest position to accommodate my height to the point where having a dropper is useless. Do you think that will be the case or will I be fine with an M/L size?
