Jay is correct, Hunquapillar preceded Bosco. One theory, that may or may not
be accurate, but which could help with understanding could be that Grant
typically designs bars around frames (or frame ideas) instead of the other way
around?
For example, Bullmoose was designed to go with
My recollection is that Hunqapillar top tubes were relatively longer and were
more for bullmoose and albatross than drop bars. This was long before the
super long tubes and super long sweep bars.

The flat bullmoose bars (i.e. not the Bosco- or choco-moose) came out around
the same time as the Hunqapillar and I remember those featuring prominently
among many of the early builds.

I’ve had Boscos (bullmoose and regular) on my Hunq at various times and they
were fine - good, even. (The regular Boscos were a bit flexy though.) But both
varieties resulted in a rising posture that was too upright for me. After some
trial and error I’ve landed on Jones loop h-bars as my
I think the bosco bars came after the Hunq, so I don’t believe the bike was
designed for those.
In the Riv video that Jay Richey made that featured the Hunqapillar he was
riding it with albatross bars. I think the bike would also do great with a set
of bullmoose bars.

I was looking at my 2013 Hunqapillar's geometry on the Bike Insights
website, and it described the stack & reach as more aggressive than most
off road touring bikes, and designed for swept back handlebars.
I don't remember Rivendell specifying the Hunqapillar was designed for
swept back
