Custom Handlebar Width
In all my google searching I still cannot find a set of 30cm width road handlebars. Does anyone know of a place that sells them or would I need to have something like that custom made. I'd hate to spend a lot so if someone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

No, I am looking for drop style road bars in 30cm width, not aerobars.

Narrowest I've ever seen is 36, and I don't think anyone's currently producing them...

my nipples aren't really 30cm apart, btw. but that's still super narrow for bars.

Any machine shop that deals with bending steel rods could conceivably do it. Ibis had their handlebars made up in that fashion:
