I had them on my clem, and now on my susie. I got rid of the clem to get the susie, but am gettingthe clem back and will move the boscomoose back too. I have a love/hate relationship with them, but went through a half dozen other bars on the clem, always going back to the boscomoose.
On the plus side, they are the only version that's stiff enough. The aluminum ones were so flexy, I wasn't even comfortable using the bike while standing out of the saddle. Comfort-wise they are "almost" ideal. I regularly wish they had a longer stem reach and, especially, that the ends pointed down toward the back more. It's a bit wheelbarrow-like, and hard to keep from sliding forward. I also wish they had less rise, were quite a bit wider, and had more flare as well. (Or "less" flare? I wish that they were a bit less bent back, or turned out more.) All of these things - except the ideal moose construction - are solved by the steel Tosco. I so hope they'll do a moose version, but its not made by Nito unfortunately. I'll kerp both bars for variety but, if I only had one, it'd be the Tosco. I actually bought a second one so I never have to worry about losing it. The only problem is that it's 31.8 and it is VERY hard to find stems that are long enough. 150mm +/- . Ill find and post pics.
