Does anyone know where I might be able to find/buy 50-52cm handlebars. My shoulder measurement is 50cm. I found one on rivendellbicycles.com. They are Nitto Dirt Drop/Tandem at 52cm and 420g, but nothing other than that. The widest I have found at the LBS or elsewhere is 46cm. I just bought a bike with 44 cm handlebars and they feel really narrow. :confused:

I found a 46cm aluminum bar from Titec (http://www.titec.com/items.asp?deptid=1&itemid=15), but I can't find anything larger. :(

Nashbar has drop bars up to 50cm, I use the 48's on my commuter and love them

Djudd, I just double checked Nashbar's website and found nothing wider than a 46cm. I thought I had already looked there, but I went back and looked again. Did you see a 50cm on their website or in a catalog.
