[RBW] Chocomoose on 51cm Joe Appa?
Howdy folks, I am in the process of buying a 51cm Joe Appa. It is complete, but I always envisioned Chocomooses on mine if I got one and it doesn't have them. I also assumed I would "slam" them, I don't generally run bars above saddle height. My saddle height is somewhere in the 71-72cm range, depending on pedals. Anybody know if the Chocomoose quill will go the whole way down on a 51cm? Anybody running one like that with a saddle height around 72cm? I only ask because getting a the Chocomoose isn't cheap with the big box to ship and all...

Doug, based on these photos of that bike with those bars, it's a definite maybe that you'll get them level with the saddle, definitely NOT below. They're a little higher than my saddle here, which was set about 69-70cm. https://photos.app.goo.gl/6aXFGF2TcTdddV637 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] Chocomoose on 51cm Joe Appa?
Thanks, folks :^) Joe, it looks like the quill was the whole way down without bottoming out in the steerer? That might be good enough for me... BTW, you had a 51cm Joe Appa and got rid of it to get a nearly the same 53cm MIT Atlantis? I was pondering which to pursue, it seems like everything is the same except the 51cm Joe has a bit more standover clearance?

Hey David, great tip! I would rather pay $27.10 for a t-shirt and get free shipping than pay $33.04 for shipping and get no shirt ;^) Doug On Thu, Mar 28, 2019 at 2:12 PM David Bivins wrote: > FYI - if you need more than the Chocomoose bars, you can check what > qualifies for free shipping from bluelug.com - I just bought the same > bars from them and threw in a t-shirt I liked to qualify for free > shipping. > > But Shoji's right, that setup has some rise. > > On Thu, Mar 28, 2019 at 4:25 PM Doug Van Cleve > wrote: > > > > Howdy folks, > > > > I am in the process of buying a 51cm Joe Appa.

Re: [RBW] Chocomoose on 51cm Joe Appa?
On paper, yes, I had a 51 Appa a couple years ago and now I have a 53 Atlantis and they're basically the same bike. In real world a whole lotta life and bikes and money changed hands between then and now, so the degrees of separation between the two are many. It I was offered both today I would pick the color and name and headbadge I like, and that's Atlantis. I also have a particular attachment to that model's history because I've been following the Rivendell thing since it was a Bridgestone thing. Both bikes work! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Email Mark at Riv. He’s certainly buillt more 51cm Appas than anyone else on earth and would definitely be able to tell you if the Chocomoose stem is slammable on a 51. He probably won’t be able to tell you what your final saddle to bars height difference will be, but at least he can cover that slam/no slam question.

I have a 51cm Appaloosa and a Chocomoose bar that I originally was using on the bike; I am not using a regular bullmoose bar on it. You can slam it all the way down in the steer tube.

Other recipients: I have a 51cm Appaloosa and a Chocomoose bar that I originally was using on the bike; I am not using a regular bullmoose bar on it.

I am now using a regular bullmoose bar setup on it. You can slam both of those bars all the way down into the steer tube on a 51cm. They still have some rise. Check out my Instagram at merrill8686 for pictures of the original build...hell, follow me if you want. Lol. (I love Instagram). I have one shot that shows the saddle/seatheight pretty good.
