I'm to lazy to try and measrure my shoulders but just by comparing to the width of my handle bars I would say I have 44cm shoulders and 42 cm bars.

Just go by the suit size you wear, unless you never worn a suit.

handlebar width and suit jacket size


Just wondering if you notice any correlation of the suit size you wear (or would wear, if you wore a suit) to your handlebar width?

(and of course there is "no right answer" to this question).

I wear a 38 width suit generally, but generally settle on 40 (c-c) handlebars.

Thoughts?
