There is a lot of talk in this thread regarding handlebar width. The fact of the matter is that manufacturers measure their bars differently. I purchased a BMC SL01 that came with so called 40cm easton bars. The 40cm is measured at the bottom of the drop. In reality they are only 38cm cc at the top of the brakes. I needed to replace them to get closer to the 42cm that I have been fitted for.
