No, my riding is about like the vid, at least for now, but I looked at the specs, and all its components are a step or two lower than the roam 1. More on part with the roam 2, and I might be kidding myself, but I rather have the front suspension, with lockout, than the advantage of less weight. I'll be carrying the water and snacks for the family anyways, so... lol. I also doubt I'll be a big road riding guy either. And there are a couple light single tracks that a friend said I may want to try later on... Thank u so much for listing an option tho, it's appreciated.

I think it really comes down to, if the deore parts, are worth it. Still haven't gotten a good answer if they will have longer life. Better performance, yes, but longer lifespan? Plus I won't ever have that nagging feeling of, "I should have just got the next model up", lol.
