Seth: I think you're making far too much of the difficulty of
adjusting bar height on threadless steerers. I have seen this rumor
perpetuated again and again, but it simply isn't true, in my
experience. On all my threadless bikes, I have enough steerer that I
can move the bars a cm or even an inch

Well, one could use the Woodchipper bars in 25.4 with a DritDrop
stem.
The Luxy bars look like the Woodchipper with a tighter bend. Possibly
a good idea, although I do find myself on the lower part of the
Woodchipper on some climbs on the Salsa Fargo. The whole does seem to
work well together.
That's the problem w/ wide dirt drops (lower case). They seem to be made to
only be used in the drops. At least the Midge/Garys are like that, not sure
about the WCs.
And Philip, that Winter Cycles stem is beautifully mdade. Definitely not a
kludge IMHO.

The Salsa Bell Lap can be ridden in all positions -- I like it for
that reason and my only gripe is the anatomic hooks.

the Luxy is made to ride in the drops from what I've read.
I have never been a fan of Salsa bars... I hate the double grooves and
that anatomic bend is not comfortable.

The Woodchipper is designed to be ridden in the drops. With the hooks
about even with saddle height. At least that's my preference.
These bars do not have any grooves. Probably intentional with the
fairly funky bends.

A midge-like bar in silver? Sweet! Now if it accepts bar-ends (and why
wouldn't it?) I can stop my futile searching for a vintage dirt drop
bar.

Are they going to be 25.4 or 31.8 only? I think a bar like that is missing
from Rivendell's offerings.

I'm waiting for that new one from Ragley called the Luxy. It was
designed by the Midge designer after getting all the input on the
midge/junebug/wtb/woodchipper and it comes in silver.
goin' on the new dropbar 29er.
