WTB, maybe - Boscomoose Handlebar

[Richard Rose]

After swapping out my Tosco for a Bosco, I think I might want to get a Boscomoose. So, if anyone has one for sale or possible trade, I might be your guy. I have two questions however; is the Boscomoose quill as long as my Faceplater stem? And, does anyone know the effective "stem" length on a Boscomoose? I cannot find that info anywhere but need that extension to be close to the 130mm I have with the Faceplater.

Thanks!

Hi Richard,

According to Soma's listing for the Boscomoose  the "Stem has about 150mm reach and 190mm long quill".  I believe the Riv FacePlater has a 230mm quill length. Wish I had a Boscomoose to trade you for that FacePlater. If you decide to sell it, please get in touch!

Yeah, I just saw that Soma page. Too long of extension & too short a quill. Dangit! They just look so cool. 

Thanks

I'm 99% sure that reach number is wrong, my Boscomoose was about 120. And it was tall as heck with the 190 quill, Boscos are TALL bars..I'd be very surprised if you needed 230mm of quill unless the bike it's going on is really short. 

[Richard Rose]

That 120 sounds more realistic - they don’t look like 150? I suspect the built in rise of the ‘moose is less than what you get with a FacePlater which I think angles up at 10 degrees. I currently have 130mm of stem showing above the locknut.

There's a tosco-moose bar for sale in Ashevilles, NC craigslist page.  Maybe you could ask them to ship?

That’s a 58cm boscomoose.

Hi Richard - I have the BlueLug BoscoMoose on my Sam, reach is 120mm, not sure about the quill, but I have it all the way down and for me, that's plenty high considering the rise. It's an amazing bar/stem combo.

Best - Scott
