I got my first Bosco-build on the road tonight... pictures tomorrow. My old MB-5 is looking particularly Riv'd. I went w/ the Cromo 55cm version and was happy as usual with the Nitto fit and finish. That aside they are an awkward looking bar as they sit naked on the stem. Due to a smaller than ideal frame I used a long chicken-neck stem with some rise and it got the height just about where I wanted it, a bit higher would have been nice to try out but this is pretty good. I actually took 4 test rides with the breaks and thumb shifters in different positions before settling on a standard brake positioning and the shifters fairly far up and towards the inside of the bars (pictures will serve better).
Anyway, the punchline is my first ride I really didn't like the bars and thought they really only had one useful hand position... but after messing with the hanging-bits I'd say I've got 2.5ish really good positions on the flat grips and the curve down and 1 that I doubt I'll ever use in the 'TT' position. Hand position's aside the bars are pretty decent and give me the most comfortable ride I've had to date on the 19" MB-5. I'll give it some tape and a couple small adjustments and share pictures tomorrow. I'm hoping to take it off road on Wednesday for a real try.
