Not to derail my own post but I am also considering the FSA Metropolis
handlebar. Problem is that it is a 31.8 and I would need to order a
special quill stem to accommodate that size. I found one such stem called
a Factory Five Titan and it is built and ordered from Shanghai. Gives me a

I've only commuted a couple days on em but digging them so far. It's nice
to have a more relaxed upright position when carrying a load up front.

To me, this sounds like a fantastic idea, and I'd like to give it a try
myself. Position-wise, I think they'd be great for trails and rougher
terrain; my reservation is more about whether they'd be overkill for the
type of trails I'd take my Hillborne on ... not particularly aggressive,
but def
Yes there were both 150mm and a 200mm extension bullmoose bars from
Riv/Nitto for a while. Now there is only a 150mm. Ian is right that your
hands are even with the stem bolt. Your brakes are FAR closer to you on
Bullmoose bars than they are on Albastache bars, for example.

I think you should measure your other bikes. Find out how far your comfort
level is. I have a feeling these bars will be too far forward, given

what Riv specs for the build kits. For the drop bar Sam, which is the

i think they would work fine. my problems with vintage bullmoose bars were
that i couldnt ever get them high enough and they didnt sweep back at all.
the rivendell version is taller and more sweepy, and the hillborne geometry
allows for bars to go higher up, so why not.
