The Soma stem worked with the steel Bosco, which has a sleeve (judging by the catalogue photo), and the aluminum Bosco worked fine with the Tech Deluxe; so it looks as if tiny manufacturing variations just cause sufficient mismatch between this particular stem and this particular bar. I agree that if all is as it should be with stem and bar, the bar should not creak in the stem clamp, and that well-matched bar and stem don't require lubrication to keep them quient, but I suppose that there are always chance variations that on occasion can add up to a de facto mis-match.
Me, I'd look for another stem or another bar, but I realize that this is not a solution that will appeal to everyone. Perhaps in this case the extra weight of the steel Bosco will be preferable to the creak? What is the difference in weight, anyway? I'll be curious to hear of the resolution.
