wtb: Rivendell x Nitto threadless Bullmoose B901 bars

[J]

Howdy folks,

I'm looking for the threadless version of the Rivendell bullmoose B901 bars. I'm still a bit confused if the B901 threadless is different than the B904, maybe only in bar width? The B904 is not as wide as the Riv B901 quill stem version. I think the Fairweather B904 are too straight for my intended use for these bars.

thanks for reading

I recall also being somewhat confused by the different versions when previously considering some bar changes.   The Fairweather is definitely wider at 710mm and has less backsweep, less extension, and no rise it seems:

I have a tig'd B904 threadless I acquired via trade and can at least confirm the one in my possession has the same Riv shape, extension, and rise, but with a narrower 610mm width compared to the 660mm B901.  

It looks like the two fillet brazed versions (quill and threadless) Riv last stocked were both labeled as B901R on their site so maybe the R represents the fillet brazed vs. TIG construction?

Not entirely sure but my own prior conclusion was the following:

B901 = 660mm Riv shape

B903 = Fairweather 710mm threadless

B904 - 610mm Riv shape

Hopefully some others could confirm/deny any of the above or have one available (as both my quill 901 and threadless 904 are in use and not what you seem to be looking for anyway.)

Best,

Appreciate the first hand input Brian. I think the B904 could work (if they were in stock somewhere), maybe add some bar extenders and lock on grips for a bit more width. I loved the quill Rivendell bullmoose bars I had on an Appaloosa for a few years, but they were lent to a friends bike when I sold the Appaloosa. 

I almost bought a pair of the threadless B901 bullmoose off the fake Rivendell site a few days ago. Thankfully I remembered I needed something else and clicked away from the cart to and found all the silly priced other items and realized I'd somehow landed on the wrong Riv site.
