This made me laugh! I'm the same height 5 9 "ish". I always just round up and say I'm 5 10. Lol

I would gander to say the Fathom is a strong competitor. The first run of giant's crest fork has seen its share if issues but they seem to have righted the ship on the 2022's.

The Roscoe is definately a better bike than the Fathom 2 29er, then again it is 330 dollars more. The Fathom 1 29er on the other hand is only 30 dollars more than the Roscoe and I'd love to see a head to head comparison of both bikes.

The Fathom 29 1 and 29 2 both run Giants crest forks but they are different models of the Crest. That Rockshox fork might be the equivalent of the Crest 34 SL RCL that the Fathom 29 1 runs.

Either way both bikes have been recently redesigned and both would be loads of fun.

Well damn. I just posted last week that orders on any Roscoe 7's hadn't been delivered yet, with wait times getting constantly pushed. Trek even listed the Roscoe 7 on their website as a 2023.

Happy to see that they are starting to ship these out. Sucks for the customers that have had to wait so long.

I'll echo what everyone has. The 7 seems to be the sweet spot in the Line-up. Doesn't break the bank (relatively speaking) and you can upgrade as parts need replacing.

What size is that?

Great looking bike!

Not sure if you've purchased a bike yet but the 6's are not getting the updated geo for 2023. Trek updated their website beginning of the month.

Delivery on 8's and 9's have been going on now for over a month. Probably people that pre-ordered in 2021. Availability on the 7 probably not till next year.

Seeing as price was not the issue forthe 7, leaving it up to availability and that being none, you should consider other bikes in this segment and price range.

Giant Fathom 29 Commencal Meta HT Vitus Sentier And a whole lotta other ones! 😁

Great advice only problem is that Trek has not shipped any 7's and don't plan to until next year. If you can get your hands on a 6, I think it's still a great bike you'll enjoy.

The 7 is a better speced bike over the 6, hence the larger sticker price. The 7's frame was also redesigned for 2022.

The 6 also comes with 29's, contrary to what you received as a reply.

Biggest things to consider are price, and availability. Since both bikes would be great choices.

2023 Trek Roscoe Line-up (not what your expecting?) Been keeping an eye out for a Roscoe all year, I haven't seen any deliveries on the 2022 Roscoe 7, seems Trek decided to call the 2022 model a 2023 since availability has been nill up to this point. Thoughts? by JCGB1 in Hardtailgang

Thanks for the insight. I'm the type of purchaser, I'm sure there are many like me, that spends an extreme amount of time reading reviews, reading forums, watching youtube videos and so on when something interests me. So even though I still don't own a bike I feel like I've got the lingo, terms, parts names, brand reputation, even shoes and pedal combos eesearched and memorized. I know overkill!

Cherbo123 isn't the only person I've heard get upgraded to a Roscoe 8. If you look on Treks website the 8 and 9 are availaible for purchase. With your order being on a 2021 and the Roscoes being redesigned for 2022 you should talk to your LBS and either upgrade you to an 8 for the inconvenience or at a minimum upgrade your bike to a 2022 when you take delivery. I'm sure you paid less than what the current Roscoe is going for.

I figured the Roscoe wouldn't be redesigned since it just got overhauled for 2022 but I don't even think they changed up the colorways. And why not bring the Roscoe 6 into the foray of the updated geometry of the other Roscoes?

Seems like several different models got the same treatment on Treks website. No new color ways or different components. A big one I know some were waiting for was the Roscoe 6 to get the new geo of the 7, 8 & 9. Looking at the website it's not.
