Then there's the one on Leah's Clem which is even taller and I'd never heard of
until she found it somewhere. Will @ Riv didn't know about it, either.

Roberta,
It can be a little confusing because once upon a time there was a Technomic and
a Technomic Deluxe which were different quill lengths, then Riv starting
selling a tall one called Tallux which is some variation on Technomic. All
cleared up, right?

"Let's say the stem is slammed and you lay a tape measure flat across the top
of it..it will end underneath the center of the bar at 12 cm. So if you wanted
the ChocoMoose reach on a regular Choco you would use a 12cm Technomic or
Tallux stem."
Joe - what's the difference between those two
I'll try clearer language to see if it helps your thinking. Let's say the stem
is slammed and you lay a tape measure flat across the top of it..it will end
underneath the center of the bar at 12 cm. So if you wanted the ChocoMoose
reach on a regular Choco you would use a 12cm Technomic or
One more question about this bar...for anyone..
Could someone who is currently using the bar give me a sense of the forward
reach for the hand position that is the curved & dropped area when the
stem is moderately low to slammed?
I know this would change depending on head tube angle ,, etc
Thanks Joe
I think the optical illusion with this bar and photos is based on how much
ppl slam the stem or not.
To my eye, and knowing what I know about how I like to set up my bikes, a
bike with this bar set up high doesn't seem that it would be comfortable to
me, however on some of the photos
I did an 'eyeing it' measurement on my ChocoMoose from top of my headset to the
theoretical top of the stem if it went up parallel to the top of the bar like a
7-shaped stem would. I got about 17.5cm with it buried a couple mm below the
Max Height line. Stem reach is 12cm.
Hopefully this
Thanks all
Maybe I am thinking of the BoscoMooses.
The context with which I'm asking the question is really just about knowing
as I'm interested in potentially getting a set and when looking at photos
of other bikes online with this bar, some look slightly different to my eye
than others.
I think there was only one batch of 200mm bullmoose bars, with all the others
being 150mm. I suspect they are rare and am glad to have one. Similarly I’m
glad I snagged a chocomoose before they were all gone (apparently for good).
As others have observed elsewhere, if rbw has something you want
Correctamundo on Boscos. There were several versions (reach, TIG v. fillet) of
the original Bullmoose, too. Only one ChocoMoose that I'm aware of.

Based on everyone else's responses it sounds like there's only been one
chocomoose, but I do seem to recall at least 2 versions of the *bosco*moose.
Something like the first batch came in with the wrong/miscommunicated grip
angle, so Riv sold them at a discount and reordered with the correct
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
What's the context of your question? If there were two versions, it only
matters in three ways
A. if you have the opportunity to buy both and it will give you something
to help you decide between them.
B. If you have the opportunity to buy one and neither you nor the seller
knows for sure if
I do think there was an early version with a different rise/reach than what
went out with the completes. No idea what the actual rise/reach
differences. I bought one from the 'garage sale' section at some point to
try out and I think it was the higher rise version.
