The rise I can't comment on because it wasn't replacing a bar on a bike I'm
used to riding. I do remember the the grip angle having some downsweep
similar to my Bosco Bullmoose.

Nitto front rack, and a velo orange brown leather seat, serial # 179010251. If

Joe, do you remember roughly how much less rise they had? Also, were the
grip portions on the Bullmoose version tilted down or roughly straight?
I'm considering them instead of the Bullmoose Boscos on our HHH -- I'm
looking for something a bit lower and with a bit more flare.

Paul, I love this story. Your daughter is a very good bike builder, and as
a bit of a 'clean bike' person myself I really appreciate how sparkly all
the parts are!
That stem on your wife's Clem is amazing, I've never seen one that tall!

Indeed Alberto, I think this bar would solve that problem. It had kind of a
"klunker bar" feel to it with the mid-rise, and the ends flared more than
the almost-straight-back feel of my Boscos. I'm tempted to switch!

Hello Brian.
That's awesome about your daughter, it seems like we went through the same
process. My daughter was in there with the rubber gloves for a couple
hours, which was amazing to watch. And yes, it's cool how their creative
opinions drive the final look.

Cool, thanks Joe! I always thought the Bosco didn't have enough flare for
some off road bumpy trails. I often found myself loosing grip and slipping
forward on the bars.

This looks like a fantastic build! As the owner of a 52 Clem (albeit an 'H'
version) shared between two adults who are *almost* 6' tall—I'd say the
chances of your daughter outgrowing it are pretty slim. Maybe a longer stem
every year or two. I'd be kidding if I didn't wish I had found a

some discussion of doing them as a Riv product but he's not there anymore,
not sure if the idea got very far.

I seem to remember a Sackville frame bag being teased awhile back. As I

would run the length of the top tube. Can't find any evidence of it,
though. Am I imagining things or is something like this in the pipeline?

I have used one of these bags on my AHH for years. It will allow you to
carry what you need for a long day ride and a couple of straps on the
outside through the D-rings allow for bulky clothing to be attached.
I've seen this frameset in person and it is gorgeous! If you don't know
Steve Bilenky's work he is a master. The welds and the paint where the

Great story and a wonderful project. I am in the midst of the same thing

What a perfect 2020 homeschooling project, and one for the family memory

Leah,
Have you considered a saddlebag with a quick release?
Nitto makes a very nice one and the part that stays attached to your saddle
doesn’t weigh much.

I only rode the Bullmoose prototype (pictured in the product listing but

little less rise and a little more flare at the grips. My first reaction
was "yeah, you gotta make this bar", the flaring out compared to my
