yes 2021

I'm not familiar with a seat guard. I can lower mine 2 ways - loosening the tensioner on the seat post and letting the post slide further in before tensioning again. I can adjust the seat height on the fly by pressing in the seat lever on the left of my handlebars. For it to lower, I have to use my body weight on the seat while pressing the lever. If I don't use my body weight the hydraulic shoots the seat back up! It's fun tech!

Aw yeah I love this color. I lucked out. Maybe your next ride you'll get it. With Bianchi you can get it more readily! Happy trails!

?

It's been great. Maybe I'll pass on to my partner and upgrade. I love that it has brazons to consider some bikepacking!

What upgrades did you do? Were they all worth it?

Thanks for sharing your preferred specs.

thanks

I'm just under 5'4

Yeah - I love this Bianchi-esque colour. Be well.

Good luck on your journey!

I have a 1up. It's great. Made in the US :)

Great idea for those that have those items or want them and have storage for them. The key is making your bike more suited to you. Love it. (How much did you cut off?)

Yes! No need to examine appreciate your cut by rubbing it, unless you want metal splinters or skin damage

Not in the house, if I don't have to, but definitely not outside!

Ha - repping my Guatemlan roots. Also I clearly didn't bike far!

Could be...

Thanks so much for watching/listening! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I just dropped a new one. I think you'll like it as well!

I take my health very seriously! 😄

Give it a try and let me know what you think. It's all the rage right now for them to be super wide and if you don't have a women's specific bike, it's not made with you in mind. Happy riding!

@@theellebottrell Yep, it's all about marketing trends. They had suddenly decided to convince the people that super wide handlebars are much better. Wrong. The best width is the width you prefer and depends a lot on your body shape and size. I am a 5'8 normal build guy and my MTB handlebars are 680mm wide and I find them very comfortable for me. These days they are selling 800mm wide handlebars and even wider!! Lol ridiculous imho. Same like MTB wheel sizes. To me someone who is 5'5 tall looks funny riding a 29'er .... but that's just me and to each their own. I ride 27.5 which I find perfect for my height. Nice video well done 👍✅

👋 thanks for watching

Hi David. Haven't tried different tires yet. I wasn't minding the size, but not appreciating the grip pattern.

Sorry just seeing this. Based on my research I considered doing it myself, but I just went to the local mechanic 1/4 mile from me, explained the task. It's easy for them, even though they don't do it often. They charged me one hour. Combining that with purchasing myself saved me ~$150 from going to a hitch installation place. Good luck.

What year is your roscoe? And why are you wanting to sell?

@@dannyturner7967 it’s a 2020, don’t get me wrong I love the bike still and it’s capable of just about anything in my opinion but….. after having it for two years I’m ready for something new capable of a bit more. I want a full suspension trail bike and a dirt jumper so I’m going to have to make cuts somewhere lol

How much did you cut off? I haven't decided whether to shorten again, but probably will. Yes, it's not the perfect ride by any means, but still a lot of fun. Did you get your new ride yet?

@@theellebottrell No not yet, but I just bent the chain ring on my Roscoe so I think instead I might just upgrade it and ride it another year. I really do love this bike and I trimmed the handlebars the same way you did (I think I trimmed mine too short) but I still like them

I will likely want to dial in the gearing. It my first time with a single chainring. Not sure if I'll change the chainring or the cassette to achieve my goals. Still getting a feel for the bike and what it lacking. I do prefer my other shifters - I'd like something that uses thumb and index finger or possible grip shift back like my first mtn bike.

Glad you've found something you like. I don't think that would wear well for me on the trail.

Medium

I'm just under 5.4 and medium is great! I bought i from someone 5.7 or 5.8 who found it too small.

Thanks for watching. Yes, they do a lot better soft, but then you're also slower. It's the same trails I've ridden before without having to monitor tire pressure. I'm very much a go ride person and stop talking about riding, so even tire pressure gets overlooked by me often. I'm also a need to know person and assumed they were glued to seal without learning about them, as I never needed to know because I didn't have that kind of bike, even though the technology has been there so long and even my husband has tubeless and could have explained. Got my first flat, so now I need to know because my old tech knowledge won't get me through. Thanks again for watching!

Hey there! Love the feedback. I went back and forth about doing voice over. Decided not to did the music and text, and then ended up layering over the V.O. In the end it was too much, but in the end I had too much time in to delete. I think I need to chop off more width of the bars. I knew this all along, but wanted to give the new geometry a try. I find the wide bars much less stable. Thanks for subscribing!

What upgrades did you go with Gunny? Just got a 2021 Roscoe 6 for my grandson and I’m thinking of new fork and wheels for starters.

@@Ceemysix Happy 2022! Well, the ONLY original thing on my Roscoe is the frame😱! So here’s the list, since you asked: SRAM GX Eagle Dub Groupset Lunar, B2, 175mm, 32T, SRAM GX AXS drivetrain, Rockshox Reverb AXS (Dropper), Ergon SM Pro Saddle, Bontrager LineComp 40 wheel set, Rear Hub upgraded to 108T, Bontrager XR4 27.5 x 2.8 Tubeless Tires, Rockshox Reba RL 27.5 fork, Bontrager Line Pro 35 0 Degree Stem, Bontrager Line Pro Carbon 35 MTB Handlebar, Ergon GFR1 Grips, SRAM Code R brakes, SRAM Dub Bottom Bracket, Avid G2 CleanSweep 200mm Rotors, Lizard Skins Chainstay protectors (both sides), SRAM Matchmaker. I think that covers the upgrades😱! I truly love my Roscoe and it’s one of a kind, which made the journey all that sweeter! Should you find you need any parts, send me a message as I have kept “some” of my parts that I’ve upgraded. Please stay in touch and good luck, I know your Grandson is going to get a ton of enjoyment with his Roscoe. FYI, my FIRST upgrade was the fork, a HUGE improvement…. 🇺🇸

@@gunny6517 Quite a list. I will use it as a cross reference for future upgrades. Thanks. Retired AF here.

Thanks, so much! Agreed and can't wait to explore and share more. Love to you!
