Nope...my chest is a 48 and my shoulders peak to peak are 23" give or take. I just can't stand how twitchy bars feel under 25". Maybe its because I also tend to run long travel forks and ride the front of my bike for really aggressive turning. (I dh and even when I xc I ride in that agressive manner) I find the bike signifigantly easier to maneuver with longer bars.
