Anyone know how this bike would be for downhill? I already have a Big Hit but I want a hardtail too and I was looking into this bike. It is cromo so I am guessing it should be pretty good the only thing is, it is designed around a 130mm fork. Are there any good 130mm forks out there for a reasonable price?
Think this bike could take downhill abuse? I don't really want a Sluggo as much as this bike for various reasons.

Well the Sluggo is yer man for DH, has a much steeper head angle and it will take a dual crown, as well...

the Roscoe's angles are built around jumping...

that being said , any bike will ride down a hill

I would go with the Sluggo if ya really want a DH HT.
