I keep looking at this bike and thinking this is a great set up for £1,000. Anyone own a Roscoe 8 that could give some info ? I am 6:2ft (189cm) and 82kg, what size frame should I be looking at ? I initially though the 19.5 but have read that trek come up small so should I be 21.5 ? (currently ride a 2014 Giant Anthem 29er in large (20 inch frame) and find it perfect fit.

Thanks

I am the same height and have a 21.5 Farley which fits great.

I prefer riding a bigger bike which goes against the trend but it works for me.

I'm 6'1 and have the XL 21.5 frame, fits me much betterer than the L Specialized Fuze I had previously. Really like the bike, although instantly looking to upgrade the brakes ASAP because the stock ones are utter shite!

Have you considered a Sonder transmitter? I looked at the Roscoe myself, but was put off by the strange rear spacing (141 rather than 148 boost) and it is rear QR not bolt through. Also the fork is very basic. At your height I would go XL.

21.5 - I am the same height and have a 19.5 Stache which is a bit on the short side and a 21.5 Fuel EX which is spot on.

The Roscoe does look rather nice 🙂
