I now have a Bosco on my Clem L (52) and a Tosco on my Atlantis (56cm 650b.). It is EXACTLY as described, and not being much of a numbers/details guy (I know, I know, I'm a bit of an outlier in that regard) all I can say is that I love the Tosco for that little bit of extra outside flare that it provides and find the lessening of the rise to put me in a bit more aggressive of a riding position. I definitely feel a bit dandier on my Boscoed Clem (true to intention, I believe) and like slightly more of a conquistador on the Toscoed Atlantis.
Good luck out there. Lots of new things to try and buy always.
