Hello!
Looking to buy my first legit hardtail. My ancient Walmart bike shit the bed a year ago and never got a new one. I’m not made of money so mainly shopping used unless there’s a hell of a deal. I went to a local bike shop and was pretty off put while looking at 2 rockhoppers, I knew more than the salesmen did with 2 weeks of research so back to OfferUp. I found locally a used Roscoe 7 for $850 (I sent an offer of $700 a few minutes ago) and a like new Roscoe 8 (1 month old looks never ridden) that’s listed for $1,000, but the seller is considering my $900 offer. I’m 6’4” and need an XL frame, so my options are more limited. The extra $150-$300 for the 8 has to be a no brainer right? Or should I stick with the 7? I also can’t tell how old the 7 is, and it’s definitely used. I’ve seen differing opinions while researching this question in the group. Could use some advice as is this is my first big boy bike! Thanks in advance!
