As mentioned, the Bosco Bar would not work for you at all here, as it sweeps waaaay back close to the rider and is designed for long TT frames.
I'd use Alba bars and a tall Quill (like the Nitto MTC-04 tall) adapter and a threadless stem with a +6 or 10 degree rise myself. The Technomic is okay, but because it is a -17 degree rise, it rather defeats it's own purpose in a sense, as people buy these to get a higher bar. The most efficient way is a rising angle stem. A long Dirt Drop stem would be great, but for whatever reason they are only made in short, and shorter sizes. Ultimately though, you bought a frame that is too small for you and you're trying to make it work for you, but in truth, it's just not your size. The best deal in the world is poor deal if it's is not pleasing to ride :) On Thursday, September 19, 2013 1:09:43 PM UTC-4, Tim Tetrault wrote: > > Hey all- I have a nice, sort of beat up but still very usable MB-3 that I > bought a few months back that I want to turn into my rainy > commuter/singletrack explorer.
