I love the updated 29x2.6 Roscoe, and I think it's a great bike for a wide variety of riders... until I remember that this is what the next Stache could have been with slightly more tire clearance.
Look what they took from us and despair.
"The plastic dropper post remote is absolutely going to snap if I breath on it wrong and what a PIA that's going to be in the forest."
Shockingly enough, Trek has been sticking that thing on their mid to entry level 'serious' bikes for a few years now and we saw very few break. I think Trek realized the level of riding the majority of riders would do on this thing combined with the under-bar nature of the lever and cheaped out where they could.
