Pretty ironically, this thread inspired me to order up a Losco bar for my
Raleigh Twenty. That bike doesn't carry a front load, so I think they'll
work nice.

I rode the prototype ToscoMoose at RBW a couple years ago, it's perfect. If
I didn't already have the also perfect Boscos on my Rivs I would get one.

Just found out about the ToscoMooses. Word is there'll be three widths of
Toscos (Taiwan Boscos) available soon, maybe at anchor off the California
coast! Hopefully some superwide mooses, that would be lovely.

Roberta,
Riv had built my Hunqapillar up with the Crystal Fellow seat post and
11cm Tallux stem and Albatross bars. I later switched seat posts to the
Lugged, giving me about 20mm additional setback, and switched to a 12cm
Nitto NP stem moving my Albatross bars about 30mm forward and 40mm
Rofl, my bad I missed it not you. I meant *TOSCO*. Reading comprehension
fail on my part.

Bullmoose Loscos!? That's a thing? How did I miss that? And where? Just to
be sure, are you possibly referring to the Chocomooses?

I have the bullmoose Loscos on my Gus so the flex is actually comfortable
for me. And I do prefer the flare and width of the Losco over the Bosco
since I have wide shoulders. One nit though: I don't like how short the
grip area is relative to the Nittos.
I have the Billies on my Homer with an
Meanwhile I was reading about how flexy they are and it was selling me on
wanting Losco's more than I already did! I like the idea of as much
built-in suspension as I can get, provided the steering is still precise
enough.

All very interesting. I'm going to start with the Losco's first since
there's more real estate on that bar.
I have an Albatross bar on my Homer and love it! So, I put one on my Joe A
and really disliked it! I swapped out Joe's Albatross back to the original
Choco-moose bar and love it
Never tried the Losco bars, but I liked the stiffness of the bullmoose
bosco bars, and not the flex of the regular bosco bars, especially when
pedaling standing up out the saddle, and both versions made for a very
cramped cockpit. But then I'm most comfortable on my Hunqapillar with a
long
I agree with Joe, I think you will like them Roberta.

Its like toe-clip overlap - its no big deal, unless it kills you...

Roberta,
One person's "too flexy" is another person's "absorbs some road vibration",
I wouldn't worry too much. I didn't notice any difference in stiffness feel
between it and the Boscos I ride.

I notice the flex from normal riding. I do not ride “loaded” other than my fat
ass. I’m not sure how a loaded bike would impart more force to the handle bar,
if loads are not placed on the bar.
Hit a few bumps and I feel it moving. I have the longest Nitto forged stem I
could get (130mm) That

I got a LOSCO from a forum member for my soon (where soon is defined as
sometime this spring) to be Platypus. Now I'm a bit nervous. Is it that
you ride your bikes "rougher and heavier" that makes the difference? What
about someone like me who will just go riding around
James, your experience with the Losco was similar to my experience with the
Billie bars. I found the Billie's and an 11CM stem on my Atlantis to be too
flexy when carrying a load. I ended up going back to albatross bars on a
slightly shorter stem. A little flex was fine, but it was just too
