But doesn't a lot depend on planning and intended use? Presumably someone who shells out the dough for a Bombadil is going to put a lot of thought into fit and function. If the Bullmoose work well for your intended use then the lack of adjustability is not a problem. My camper has a threaded st

As stated, Bullmoose bars disappeared for a good reason. No adjustability in reach or angles. My '83 Stumpjumper had one, but would-be thief tried damaged it in college. It was the best thing that ever happened, as I got a Specialized Slingshot stem and bar instead. Personally, the photo of the

Not sure if you can even get a Bombadil with a threadless fork. If so, the First Fligh Bikes Mountain Goat project has a Ti threadless Bull Horn bar set up as well. I do not think the Ti bars look as nice as the Nitto. If the fit is right, Bull Horns are a good choice. Real bullet proof. And

Second that. Lovely bars but they disappeared for a reason. But I guess these are mainly for custom builds anyway. I have a Peugeot MTB c 85 with a slightly to short TT. The bars has very little height and no forward extension to play with so it's now converted to grocery getter. On 1 Juli, 04:00

Per the "read about it" that's the intention. I especially like the idea of having it match the frame. But I always loved the look of the old Ritchey and Fisher MountainBikes. Personally, my favorite setup was the old Nitto double clamp stem and riser bars from the 1984 Stumpjumper. Very heavy
