WTB - 58cm Bosco or 60cm tosco

[Chris Copeland]

Hi folks,

   I am going to switch up my cockpit soon, and I've already found my stem (nitto lugged 11cm). I know rivendell has Bosco's in stock, but I am hoping to find some used bars that are no longer of use to someone on here. Also looking for long pull brake levers, something like the XT pairs that Rivendell has on the site right now. Any help would be great, thanks!

Alternatively, wondering if anyone can verify if a Tosco/bosco bullmoose exists for 1 1/8 steerers. If so, anyone know where I can find one? Thanks!

Rivendell offered the Bosco bullmoose in 1 1/8th threadless back in 2017 when they had the first run of tandems. 

Not sure if they still offer it. 

I would consider selling the one I have if you strike out with them.

I'd also love to pick up a set of Tosco bars, but the widest ones (650mm, preferrably). Everyone seems to have them on their bike builds, but they're not in stock anywhere. I guess they proved to be tremendously popular! Blue Lug says they don't expect to get anymore, and Riv says maybe sometime in the Fall. I went ahead and ordered a set of 58cm Boscos for my current Gus project because I didn't want to be waiting months for handlebars. I'll just use a shim until I can (hopefully) find Tosco bars.

Oh cool! What is the width and stem reach on that model? Thanks for reaching out.

Here's a link (late 2020) from Radavist announcing the sale of a "Tosco-moose" through Rivendell:

My pal Taylor has a set of these on his Gus, and they're the only ones I've ever seen. I'm sure these went FAST when they were offered, and I'm not sure if they were ever offered again after that.
