in good condition. No dents or dings.Comes with headset and shimano BB.
PM for pics.Thank you!-Mike

Still running it. Grin. 44/34 x 17/21 (fixed gear Surly Dingle cog), yields
44x17=71" and 34x21=44". Keep in mind that's geared up for fixed.
With abandon,
Patrick

Thanks Patrick
I forgot about that.
What sort of gearing numbers did you run on your off road QB?

You can get wider gear inch spread with a smaller tooth spread if you use a
flip-flop hub or a White Industries DosEno freewheel. Then you run little
cog with big chain ring, big cog with little chain ring.

I've ridden these bars for many years. When I first installed them they
slipped and I found that to fix it I had to tighten the bolt a little bit
more than I was comfortable with—once I did, they were set and haven't
moved a smidge since.

Without actually measuring anything you have idea what you are working with,
either bar or stem.
Even if the bar is slightly out of spec, an open face stem is much more
accomodating, the bars don't have to be exact like a single bolt. I've used
25.4 swept back bars in 26.0 open face stems w/
8-tooth is the max I could get, and that was with 700x33 tires. Larger
tires reduced the achievable spread because they can't move as far forward
between the chainstays.

Curious if the 8-tooth "max" spread can be pushed by a tooth or two?
Is that just a conservative figure or has anyone successfully run a larger
(9 or 10 tooth) chain ring size difference on their Quickbeam or Simpleone
and still had good brake pad alignment on the rear wheel?

Doubt they are defective. I think it has more to do with how and where a person
rides. Some friction paste and judicious overtorquing of stem bolt should
mostly solve it.

I've got two of the non-bull Boscos in service on my 26" tandem. Doesn't

I apologize for all the typos in the above post; comes from typing on a phone.
I was interested in Grant's comment about overweight women and overweight
children; hard to think there wouldn't be some correlation, but again it could
vary with genetics. My mother was overweight as is my eldest sis
Sorry if I offended you Jeff (or the outbidder). Outbidding happens all the
time here in Brooklyn with real estate, it's the joy of getting over asking
price, usually with cash! So maybe I'm not right, but it still seems a little
shady to offer it up only to rescind and delete everything due to

I didn't see any new brakes. Grant mentioned a fancier Cheviot down the road,
which Will explained as "more rad" 😁
Those bars are a prototype Bosco Bullmoose with a bit less reach-back and more
flared. It's spectacular and I want one on my upcoming custom. If they don't
produce the bar I'm goin
Go to a bike shop instead. It is usually sold to install carbon seatposts and
bars that are sensitive to over torquing. Often they even have some free
samples in which case you can buy tire lever, cable, or tube.

It takes a substantial amount of torque to keep those bars stable. I was
one of the first to try them years ago and they called a few weeks later to
see if they were alright. I had to use a pipe as an extension on my allen
wrench to get them tight enough. They have a freaky long reach back

I love those threadless bullmoosey looking bars!

Whew, wish I had time to dig through all the responses here; it's all very
interesting, but I just wanted to throw a couple things out there.

I've been riding Bosco bars on my daily commuter (2005 RBW 62cm Saluki) for
years, and I have had zero issues with them.
No slip, no dip.
They are* by far* my favorite bars OF ALL TIME, and believe me, I've ridden
them all. Well, all of the bars sold by Rivendell, that is.

Thanks for sharing the pics Joe. Always fun to see what's inside the Riv

Best,

Sorry to hear that. I think it’s just poor design, unfortunately. Too much
leverage from the long bars and not enough surface area in the clamp. The
bosco moose seems like the safest way to go. I’m sticking with my albatross.
I was happy with them anyway, just wanted to try something new.
I just ordered a set of boscos with the re-stock they did at Walnut Creek
and am having the same issues. New stem, new bars, correct sizes but same
slip as described here. So you aren't alone. Maybe I'll try that friction
paste... is that kind of thing available at any hardware store?

I second James’s recommendation of Baltimore Bicycle Works as an option that’s
a bit further away but worth the drive. The Belvedere Square location is home
to their resident Riv expert, but both spots are staffed by super knowledgeable
worker-owners who will treat you right.

If you go to an event by yourself, as mentioned, these rides get spread out
pretty quickly, so you may not see many folks at whatever pace you happen
to be riding. Personally, I'm fine either way, but if you would like to
