May or may not have put a deposit down for a 2020 Rootdown frame. Set to ship in around May. Going to be swapping frames from my 2019 M/L Rootdown and posting that frame for sale. Just a heads up!

Size change, color swap ? Or did they tweak geo a little?

Chainstays are 5mm longer but other than that the geo has stayed the same I believe.

Was hoping they'd lose that color from the lineup and do a variation of the hunter green instead. I actually like the neon yellow/green Stylus from a couple years ago, but something about sunflower yellow is just off-putting. It's just preference, maybe I'm alone on this but I don't like yellow on vehicles either.

If it were matte yellow I think it would look killer

I'm not a yellow fan or a colorful bike fan in general. But the yellow seems to be growing on me a bit. Might pick up a yellow frame. Black is always a safe choice though. Always looks good

Has anyone setup their Rootdown as a mullet?

I'm about to order a Rootdown and I might configure it with a 27.5+ rear.

It will be my everyday bike and I'm selling my 2018 Santa Cruz 5010C. I'm nervous it won't be able to handle as much so I think the 27.5+ and a 2.8 rear tire will soak up some of the bump. Maybe even a cushcore.
