Curious how you guys with new Roscoe's are feeling about your new rides? LBS got one in and put together (although too large) I gave it a parking lot ride. A few impressions: first off the Roarange is bright - pretty cool. Did not think I'd like it but it's growing on me. Second thing that hit me was the Judy for is better than expected. Still not what I'd put on if I could make a change but entirely decent. Third - Brakes - um, they kind of sucked. I'm a big Shimano fan but the brakes on that bike took 2 fingers and serious squeeze to haul it down to speed. Doing a stoppie was nearly impossible without assistance. Shifting, Dropper, Overall Finish, etc. were all nice and the price - well that is very tempting. The derailleur mount on the seat tube is kind of weird. Might be ok with a chain guide but what were they thinking on that? Currently holding for the same shop to get in some Timberjacks to compare but the Roscoe has caught my attention.
