Hi all,

I've recently swapped the Boscos on my Clem H for (flipped) Map/Ahearnes. Love the Boscos, love the Maps—I took the Maps on a short camping trip and really enjoyed having a little push-up power over the super rocky roads. Wasn't expecting to rig em tops-y-turvey but couldn't go back once I tried. Pics attached. I have also included a few from a camping trip a few years bag in San Rafael Wilderness (w the big boskies). My final Bosco v Map/Ahearne consensus: Clem is a rocking versatile bike and in either case I felt like I could ride forever. For ref I am 6'1, BPH 91.5, and this is a 59. It is a beautiful time of year in CT.

But yes, now looking for a DirtDrop stem—let me know if you have one you would like to get rid of. I was comfortable enough, but I am concerned about reach/rise ratio (stem is flyin high to comp for the upside-downers).

Thanks!
David

David, I really like the drive side shot of your Clem next to the brick wall.  Also nice to see some Clem **H** love.  I have a dark green 59, and recently installed a VO Curvy Bar; it's a bit wider than the A+M, but has no rise (very similar to Riv's Wavie).  If I were doing mostly off-roading, I'd pic the Wavie or Curvy due to their greater width.  But for mostly pavement and packed smooth flowy riding, the A+M would get my vote. Thanks for sharing the pics!

Tom
