Thanks everyone for the input. I sent a PM to Keith requesting comparison photos of the albas and Boscos on the Clem but maybe others would want to see them, Keith up to you if you want to post them here.
A lot of my desire to do a bar switch is fit related, but some of it has to do with aesthetics as I don't love the bull moose. I like the look of a level quill stem versus the positive angle and triangular set up of the bull moose. I think a tallux stem with an Alba bar would give me the drop and lean I am looking for, taking in to account the -40mm difference between bars only, and the further difference between the stem angle of the two styles. I never really considered the width of the Alba to be a deal breaker, or concern, and this is the first time I'm hearing about that being an issue. All other reviews and comments I read about the bars is that people love them and often never look back once installed. The width of the boscos is pretty extreme and I can't see wanting to go any wider. As it stands you have to be pretty focused riding through traffic and on narrow bridge decks or passing others on paths. I would be happy with a reduction in width. Sounds like I've made my decision! Sometimes writing out your thoughts is all you need to do. Thanks for being the sounding board! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
