Roscoe Mtn Mixte on the road.

[Ray Varella]

Got my Roscoe on the road and took it for a couple hour ride today.
I must admit, it rides every bit as good, probably even better than the custom Allrounder it replaced.

It was a parts bin build.
Sugino AT triple cranks w/Phil BB
Rich Built Dyad/Aeroheat 650b wheels 8 speed 13-32
Suntour XC Pro rear
Some Suntour front, part of the body is dark green, not sure about model
Suntour power ratchet thumines. Shifting is great.
Albatross bars, Technomic Deluxe stem
Some Dia-Compe levers mated to my vintage Mafac tandem cantilevers.
Braking is great.
Brooks saddle
Thunder Burt tires, really nice size tire and ride nicely.

What a great value in a frame.
Grant and company are definitely producing more evolved designs.
Getting a step through has been in the back of mind for a while.
It will be nice to have such a bike as I age.

Anyone else get theirs built up yet?

I think you will really like yours.

You dared to post this without photos?!? You brave soul!

Post photos! I seriously think the Roscoe Mtn Mixte is the best looking Rivendell ever.

[Ray Varella]

Guilty!
I kicked myself for not bringing a camera along, especially when I stopped to admire a Peregrine Falcon basking in the sun and a minute later a Turkey Vulture came and landed nearly on top of him, needless to say, the Falcon left.

One of the reasons for building this bike is to carry a camera.

I need to sort out my rack, bag, basket combo.

Just hauled my Rosco Mixte frame and a bunch of parts to my builder, yesterday.  Photos will be forthcoming but will be awhile, yet.

Glad to hear! I'm getting mine built up. Sent the fork to Orcracks to have him make some finishing touches on a custom rack to fit the appaloosa fork crown mounts. Waiting on a crank and should be good to go!
