I have ridden the Bosco and have 60cm Toscos on my Clem. I didn't love the Boscos, too much rise and too narrow. However, I LOVE the Boscos. Favorite bars for comfort and long rides (well, maybe a tie with Jones bars, but it's a whole different aesthetic).
I use the circle part you mentioned mostly on long climbs. It's just a matter of making sure there is space for your hands (i.e. that the shifters, bells, etc. are placed farther forward or somewhere else). cheers, john On Wednesday, September 7, 2022 at 1:03:23 AM UTC+2 Ed Carolipio wrote: > I have both the Bosco and the Tosco.
