Just to pipe in on CHOCO-MOOSE. I emailed Riv a while ago and they said
they may not restock them ever and/or is yet undecided on the fate of the
Chocomoose. I noticed they came into stock at bluelug and immediately
ordered a pair and love them. They feel how I imagine moustache bars should
Ted, I've got to say that Ana Purple color is one of the nicest colors I've
seen on a Riv. Looks great! I'll offer my feedback as a former Appa owner.

I once heard an interview with Jeff Jones on how to set up his H-Bar and he

Nitto is making those bars anymore, but there are lots that are pretty
similar,
I have an old tig welded bullmoose-style bar I got from a scrap bike many
years ago. Maybe I should give that bar a try given all the praise *-moose
style bars are receiving here... Doesn't have much sweep, though.

$91 shipping charge for the Chocomoose from Blue Lug - total of $176.20 -
big awkward box no doubt. They were in stock at Rivendell until a month or
two ago. I had been thinking about trying some out, and then they were
gone. I have fillet-brazed Boscomoose and Bullmoose, and I also love the
In my opinion, the bars that the very first Appaloosas originally came with
are still the best choice: Choco-moose. I don't understand the

out of stock, but Blue Lug sells them for $85.20 and they are in stock.
