I made this exact swap on my Big Dummy and have been meaning to snap some pics and post a report. The short of it is that for this bike/situation it was a definite improvement. That said I then swapped the noodles off of my AHH and replaced them with the displaced albas. I won't go so far as to say that was an improvement, 'cause I like them both differently, but it was a change that I'm enjoying.
A couple details to mention about the Alba to Bosco conversion on my Big Dummy... I had been riding the albas on a stem riser for the past 1.5 years and recently ditched the riser in the name of "smallering" the bike Since the smallering I've been wanting a more upright/casual riding position I kept the same stem and have been liking the further back + higher grip position I find I spend a lot of time riding on the "hump" (the highest point of the bar when it's set up with the grips pointing slightly down) After some hemming and hawing I went with the 58cm Bocos and am glad. I'm 6'3" and I think the 55 would have felt too narrow after the 56 Albas. The Bosco is without a doubt a better bar for this situation. I'm 100% glad I made the swap. It fixes things about the fit of the bike that I wanted to correct. I'm not convinced I'd be as happy with the Bosco if I had put it on my AHH because there's nothing lacking on the current set up. I don't know that I'd make the Alba-Bosco swap to out of curiosity. They're entirely different bars. If you're thinking you want a more upright position, go the way of the Bosco. If you love your Albas keep 'em. hope this helps. --Andy On Tuesday, June 12, 2012 4:52:04 PM UTC-7, Zack wrote: > > Hey all - > > I am considering getting a set of the bullmoosy boscos for my new-to-me > Hunq.
