Re: [RBW] Bosco bars - different flares?
I'm pretty sure that's a trick of the camera lens (wide angle), and that those are two photos of the same bar.

Re: [RBW] Bosco bars - different flares?
I think that's just keystone effect. You can see it too in pictures of the moustache and Mark's bars (to a varying degree).

Re: [RBW] Bosco bars - different flares?
Makes sense, the point about wide-angle lens. If there's some moderate flare, as Grant noted, then the front view would tend to minimize that flare (might look more parallel) and the rear view would exaggerate that flare.

Re: [RBW] Bosco bars - different flares?
Well they do come in different witdths, 55cm and 58cm so that may explain why they look different. Anyone have any conjecture as to whether these will take bar end shifters?

Re: [RBW] Bosco bars - different flares?
I remember talk of different test models of the Bosco. There were 3 or 4 of 'em, if I recall correctly, so would suspect the differences have to do with that design evloution. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
