Road bike, average 12 mph, longer distances, non-competative. Shoulder to shoulder is 42 cm, but my drops are positioned at the upper bend, 39-40 cm end to end.

So, according to posts, handlebar should be 42 cm to match shoulders, but with my drops at 39-40 cm, should I opt for a 44 cm width such that, when drops are used, I am actually at the "correct" 42 cm width?
