Ha ha, while they do come back a lot it def not 300mm! Its hard to explain
but I get about 4 good positions out of them. the middle section is
actually really wide and not uncomfortable for me, personally but its all
about what works for you. Its nice to have so much rise for city riding and
still
In theory, yes. However, I do not consider the middle portion of the Boscos
to be "practical" to *actually use*. I have no desire to place my hands in
that awkward position. Also, one cannot mount the thumbshifters like I do
on the Albatross, they'd have to go somewhere else, somewhere I would
So couldn't someone use bar end brake lever and thumb shifters on a Bosco
bar and therefore have even more than 12 inches of bar to use?

It truly does depend on where you have the shifters and brake levers.
Using bar end brake levers and thumb shifters, I have a range of hand
positions a Bosco could not give me. I have a full 300mm, about 12 inches
of pure open usable bar to choose from, and I use it all in various
situations .
Aha! All is now clear. Move along, move along there...

Well, yes, Steve; but I thought that the Boscoe was like the Bullmoose:
with its stem integrated with the bar. Am I wrong?

Hi Steve,
Yes, they are handlebars. I think the confusion is that one version of the
Bosco ("Nitto Bosco Bullmoose Bar, Cromo dullbrite 58cm - 16242" on
rivbike) is fillet brazed to a quill stem. The "non-bullmoose" version of
the Bosco Bar are available as 25.4mm clamp (handlebar only-- you sup
Wait: I thought the Boscoe has an integrated stem, like the old Bullmoose
bar. Am I wrong?

Now I'm really confused. Albatross & Bosco are HANDLEBARS, right?
There's n
You can get the Bosco that's just the handlebar, no quill stem attached. You then attach to your own stem, 25.4 mm clamp size. I'm pretty sure you'll have no trouble setting it up with a threadless stem.My use of Boscos is with a really long stem - a 17 cm Ritchey (Nitto-made) from the early 90's.
Patrick, I am confused, is the clamp diameter for the Bosco different than
the Albatross? Not sure what the difference would be between getting either
one of them in a stem. Having ridden both for a while I would go Bosco, it
has more hand positions for sure.

Thanks, Eric; just now realized that, until Grant makes a threadless
Boscoe, I'm stuck with the Albatrosses. Not that *that* appears to be a
huge liability.

Thanks, Patrick -- good advice, and I've heard it from others, too.
No change immediately thanks to money shortage, but I will keep stacking
the evidence toward Boscos -- whoops, just realized that, with the Fargo's
threadless headset system, those are out. Albatrosses, then -- will keep
stacking

Patrick,
All my comments refer to the Albatross, but I imagine they are at least equally
true of the Bosco bars.
Sand: is rough and no doubt always is. The width of the bars makes it easier to
keep straight. I always shift back to the more upright/wider grip in sand.
Descents: far easier uprig
Jeremy -- you've *almost* got me convinced that I should try something
similar with the Fargo. That you find no loss of power on hills while
sitting more upright, makes me switch my intention to the Bosco from the
Albatross. I'd be interested in your experience of differences between the
two.

Just an update of some recent changes to my Quickbeam, riding the
Appaloosa, and thoughts on upright riding in general.
