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. Seems to me the difference is the Luxy is planned for riding the tops, and the Woodchippers are all about riding in the drops most of the time.
