42. I feel they are too wide. I asked a friend to measure my shoulders (C-C basically) and he said 42cm. I was thinking about getting either the 132 or 135 in 42cm (around 38cm at the tops). The other readily available size for me here (currently in Germany) is 39 and that sounds like it's going to be very tight at the tops.
I don't feel that reach to the bars is a problem, maybe they are too low because my neck gets a bit sore after 40-50km. Below a picture from two days after the fit, not the best I know. I'll probably start a new thread about it.
In any case my complains with the Soma are that the drops are too deep, I need to put myself in an akward position to break from the hooks because of the bend's shape and I feel they are too wide when riding on the ramps. From what I've read I believe rando bars will help due to the upswept ramps and shallower drops.
