Hi, I'm certain there was only one version of the Chocomoose. Rivendell put them up for sale on the 'garage sale' around the time the Butternut squash Appaloosa complete ended. Unlike the Rivendell Bullmoose bar which will always sweep upwards unless it's on a bike with a very slack headtube angle (69/70 degrees) the Chocomoose has a slight downward positioning similar to a Albatross bar flipped over and offers excellent positioning. My favorite bar for all around riding. Thanks, Paul
