Interesting; I just glommed on the V5, which I'd not seen before. It seems to be a good design for bars where the moment of force is relatively high, like many of the current Rivendell bars.
Curious: I can see how a Technomic would be wholly overwhelmed by a Bosco. But what about a wide-faced, 4-bolt single-clamp stem? The only examples of these last are the Ritchey 4-bolt faceplate threadless stems I have on 2 bikes, but I wonder if these might hold a Bosco in place firmly without requiring over tightening of the bolts? This is not an idle question; I may try a bosco or tosco or some other such long sweepback bar on the Monocog 29er, and I'd not want to have to buy a new V5 stem as well as a new, expensive, bar.
