The Bullmoose Bar, TIG Nitto made a few TIG bullmoose bars, looks as nice as fillet, except different.  Tiny, symmetrical, clean tig welds.It's a handlebar and a stem in one, was invented by Tom Ritchey in 1980, and named by Charlie Kelly. We got Tom's approval to recreate it with the slight modifications noted below, and Charlie, all he wants for our using "his" name on this modified bar, is one of them for himself, and that's easy. This is the handlebar that graced the early production mountain bikes and defined the breed. It first appeared on the Ritcheys, but by 1982-4 or so, it was on all the Japanese models. It was always an expensive bar to make, and that combined with the onset of the weight-obsessed mtn bike in 1985 killed it. The Bullmoose bar is still unequaled for rough terrain. You're a big guy on a big bike riding fast over rough ground, and the wide bar lets you manhandle the bike like a monkey manipulating a peanut. You wrestle it here, pound it there, lift it over that
