There were a couple of Rosco versions. The Rosco Road which I have and is designed for drop bars and I've heard compared to the Legolas, and the Mixte which was more upright, and I think another one that was also upright if I recall but don't remember. Maybe I'm wrong on the the mixte, but there was definitely a drop bar road version and an upright or two versions. Either way, I wasn't expecting the Rosco Road to be my go to fast road bike, especially after going through a Sam and a Hunq (with various version of drop bars and upright bars, stripped down and loaded w/ racks/bags/lights/fendors), but it is. Using G One 38mm tires and no racks. Sugino cranks and deore parts.
