You have a nice looking bike there Vincent. I missed out on Butternut Appa. I have a green.
I echo Jacob's points. Boscos are one of the most versatile bars out there. Experimenting is fun if/when you have the budget. But if I were you, I would hold on to those Boscos. You are likely going back to it, especially if you enjoy riding upright. I have tried about 8 kinds of alt bars in one year of owning Appaloosa, which is quite similar to Clem in geometry. I kept avoiding Bosco thinking they don't look cool. After using them for 2 months, now I think they are the coolest of all. Also the most comfy. It also gives you a lot more real estate than other bars (Jones loop might be the only one with more room to mount stuff). Just because I liked the 55cm Bosco, I didn't want to stop my experiments. During Riv's appeal last week, I went ahead and bought the 58cm version :) That's how much I like Boscos. I'm still holding on to other bars, including Alba and Choco. Every once in a while, I might swap for a little while for a change. But I think I'll always come back to Boscos. For rides lasting more than an hour or two, I would ONLY ride with Boscos.
