Thank You for that input. I rode 22 miles yesterday with the Boscomoose. The
angle of the grip area just felt wrong. I tried it at different heights to no
avail. Swapped in the Bosco 550 with 130 FacePlater. Fussed with the height &
angle a bit & just finished a beautiful 30 mile ride. Not only
I have both Bosco and BoscoMoose bars on my Rivs, for me, the fixed angle
on the moose becomes transparent after a few rides. Something to consider,
Blue Lug sells a threadless moose stem that exactly fits the 100mm sleeve
on a Bosco. You would need a threadless quill adapter, it's a nice
I actually have the Boscomoose. Just got it after first swapping out the 650
wide Tosco for a 550 wide Bosco. I just finished a 21 mile mixed surface ride
with the 580 wide Boscomoose on my Clem. I have plenty of length & a lot of
flexibility with height. The 30mm / 3cm of extra width is
I had the boscomoose on an old steel framed bike...can't even remember what
the make of the frame was off hand...maybe an old Olmo. Anyway, the bars
worked well for me on that bike but I never intended that bike to be a long
distance rider. Basically, I used it on a greenway trail and around
I love my Boscomoose on my clementine. I think the 3mm wider bar makes the
5mm shorter feel natural enough as long as you can get the bar low enough
and you have enough top tube. On the clementine the top tube is long and
feels good. Tried them on a Romanceur and the shorter TT wanted a lower
Definitely ride it for a while before deciding. I just tilted my Billies up
this week, it's probably the same angle my Boscomoose was now!

My judgement is likely a bit premature. I failed to mention that my Bosco was
550 wide, the ‘moose 580. I did notice the solid feel straight away although
the FacePlater is very secure. Nice to have options.:)

I have a Boscomoose on my Hunq. I guess I'm fortunate that the fixed tilt
angle works very well for me. I had run the regular Bosco with a stem, and
it felt less secure than the triangulated and reinforced Boscomoose, no
matter how tightly I clamped the stem to the bar (and you can only go so
I also learned this with the exact bars you're comparing. Bars that can't
be adjusted for tilt are always a crapshoot and you're probably going to
lose that bet unless the front end is really slack like a Clem or
Gus/Susie. My custom IS that slack and they worked ok for me, but I still
