[RBW] Re: Boscoe and Rambouillet Pics Anyone?
I found this picture of a Rambouillet with what looks like an albastache.

Jeremy, your pic of the Bosco's on the Qbeam (I think I remember you did a post on it) got me liking the looks of Bosco's, which I had dismissed as too Disney looking at first. But now I think they look much better aesthaetically than Alba's which I rode for a while. Plus they have more rise and sweep back, which I need for an upright ride. I am thinking of trying another upright cockpit on the Sam again and want to try Bosco's. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Thanks for the advice. Would it change anything to know that I had the Bosco's on a 56 Atlantis and like them?

Funny - I never put it together that this was you, Jeremy. Probably should have. If you've been riding 64cm road bikes, that Clem is going to fit you like a dream, for what you're wanting to use it for! Also, forgot to say to you, Michael: "Congratulations on the new bike!"

Hey, that's me! I did have Bosco Bullmoose bars on my Quickbeam for about a year, and yes, it did feel very short, although the setback seatpost helped. They later got switched out for Albatrosses and eventually, Avenir Circa handlebars. The QB definitely has a comparatively short top tube; even with the less swept-back Alba's and Circas, I still ride an 130mm stem. I'm still constantly fiddling with that bike but this is pretty close to the current setup: https://flic.kr/p/Ett4rD Around the same time I took the Bosco's off the Quickbeam I put a pair of standard Aluminum Bosco's on my Surly LHT, which has a ~2cm longer top tube than my QB (62 vs. 60, both are 64cm frames), and that felt great with a stem in the 110-120mm range. I rode that setup all over for almost two years, including touring from SF to LA. Here it is: https://flic.kr/p/pgoF44 However, I just came in from the garage, where I was working on that bike's latest transformation. Being the fickle guy that I am, it's getting drops (shock! horror!), but only because I have a 59cm Clem frame also waiting in the garage to get built up as a (slightly more offroady) upright all-rounder, and the Trucker is morphing into more of a go-faster bike. https://flic.kr/p/FYn3z9 On Monday, April 25, 2016 at 7:20:53 PM UTC-7, iamkeith wrote: > > I did just remember this, in case you're still bent on trying to imagine > what it will look like.

I did just remember this, in case you're still bent on trying to imagine what it will look like. This fellow put boscos on a quickbeam, right after the bars were released. http://handlebarchronicles.blogspot.com/2013/05/spring-2013-becoming-upright.html The Quickbeam is a contemporary-of and similar-to the Rambouillet, but it IS ever-so-slightly longer - no matter what the charts indicate! Also noteworthy, now that I see this again, that his saddle actually does sit close to the top tube, almost like Joe described. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Re: Boscoe and Rambouillet Pics Anyone?
I very much agree with Keith. The only way a Bosco works on a Ram is if you bought one so big that the saddles rests on the toptube. It ain't gon happen. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Re: Boscoe and Rambouillet Pics Anyone?
I'm thinking you want Albatross bars for this - not Bosco. Or maybe the Choco? I haven't tried the setup you're describing, but I have a 60cm Ram with noodles, and a 59cm Clem with boscos. The Ram has a very short top tube, even by Riv standards. Meanwhile, the Clem has an extremely long top tube and was designed with Bosco bars in mind. And even so, I had to use the longest Tallux stem I could get (130mm) before the boscos felt low enough and far enough away on the Clem. They're a great bar, with lots of comfortable grip positions when set up well, but I think half of them would be useless on a Ram.
