Well I am buying the 7 for the frame color. Trek does not have frame sets in stock till April. But mainly the difference is forks a Fox 36, better drivetrain and brakes on the 9. It just depend a on what you want. Mine would be a Roscoe 15 if they made it, from the parts I already have.

Roscoe 9 has superior value. The Roscoe 7 has center lock rotors and a 32mm stanchion fork, with are dealbreakers for me. Also the brakes are crap. Also a 31.8mm handlebar/stem combo is not as suitable for a big beefy burrito like me. Hey @Danmtchl , any chance I could get your shop to swap parts from a 9 frame to a Miami Green frame for the price of a 9?

for a price my boss will do anything you want.

How about $2,500 plus tax and cost of labor..? Just throwing it out there in case your shop has the bandwidth to flip the leftovers.
Hey @buggravy , have you had a chance to ride your Nimble 9?

No, it was a pre-order. Bikes don't arrive until April.

That's a big, expensive bike. I'd add some yellow stickers to it to make it more bro.

Hint: Hardtails don't climb better. Unless the trail, path or road is smooth.
But they are often used as jump bikes - so I think your rationale falls flat on both counts!

maybe I need to rethink the hardtail issue... I really loved the old pivot trail 429....Hint: Hardtails don't climb better. Unless the trail, path or road is smooth.

Daaaaayuummmm - I don't like hardtails (for me) but damn that thing is sure purty!
EDIT: Ohhh I just now (12 hours later) noticed it's a Revel! Is it yours or a stock photo?

Not mine. It's a photo John probably took. He takes great photos.

Hey Bug, Did you compare the Nimble 9 with Yelli Screamy when you selected the Nimble 9? If so, I'd like to pick your brain.

Not really, or at least not when I was ordering. I looked at the YS when it came out a year or two ago, but almost immediately wrote it off because of aluminum and no sliding drop outs. I just wish the N9 had the hta of the Yelli Screamy.

I see. I think if you have a 150mm fork on the N9, the static HTAs are about the same. For me, I’m wondering if the stiffer frame of the aluminum YS is the way to go. I hear ya about the sliding dropouts.

Just right:3:41am... obsession.
Dude! I'm seriously thinking about Kingdom bikes. I've been bashing Al hardtails for years looking for the right Geo/fork combo, all in a quest to get a Ti frame with that Goldilocks combo, without having to bust out the Krugerrands. Well maybe only 2....hmmm
Seriously, those bikes look fantastic in person, even covered in El P. The riders rave about them.
Maybe they'll chime in.
Hey @Erik H ! Post up some pics of your Kingdom!

Sweet! It’s one of those things you tell your coworkers to take their time and get it right rather than submit a piece of Sh!t sooner that requires a redo.
