Doesn't have as much to do with 'build' as it does shoulder width. Has absolutely nothing to do with height.. FWIW I ride 42s, c-c.
Edit:: I suppose bar width might be loosely correlated with height simply because a taller person will tend to have proportionately wider shoulders, but even there... there's a lot of variation.
