My exact experience also. I really wanted to like my Boscomoose. But the fixed

True enough. But at the end of the day I preferred my regular Bosco /

Tom, my Clem came with a 135mm FacePlater stem & Bosco bars. I was absolutely
convinced it would be way to long & the first thing to get changed. It is now
one of my favorite things about the fit & the ride. I just love how roomy the
cockpit is and how that contributes to the “in the bike” feeli
I’ve not ridden a Rosco Bebe. However, your description of the ride & fit qualifies mirror my Clem low experience, exactly. And, though I might like to get a Gus or Susie for the same reasons as yours, I would be hard pressed to part with the Clem. Probably not much help but, that’s all I got.Sent
I have this crazy idea to put a Cane Creek EE wings titanium crankset on a
Gus / Susie. I own the crank. It has a 30mm spindle and has a 176 q factor.
It indicates it is compatible with a "BSA 73" bottom bracket. That should
work, right? Obviously requires a external BB.
Thanks for any insights
Yes, they are crazy expensive. I picked it up gently used for significantly less than that. The beauty of the crank - other than its looks - is that you can erase pedal strikes with a scotchbright pad.It currently is installed on the Ibis Mojo 3 that I own & love but now find uncomfortable. I rode

Garth, of course nothing you say here is wrong, it’s simply not the same for everyone. And I know you know that. I am a 68 year old lifetime cyclist. I’ve been through many drop bar bikes and though my last one (Custom Richard Sachs) was easily the best, I was never truly comfortable. I mean, I rou
