I have 2 sets of the 150mm bullmoose bars; green (on my Bombadil) and silver (to go on my SimpleOne). I have long been a fan of the original bullmoose bars from the mid-80s, but these Riv Nitto bars (with their unique combo of longer reach and sweep) have really grown on me and are clearly my favorite... They instill confidence in virtually any riding situation, preparing me for any type of unexpected road/trail hazard.
I'm excited to be setting up my S1 as a freewheel/fixie combo (with fat tires and moose bars to boot!)... Wow, I never imagined.
