I thought I should add this to this thread, that which I had written out for a different thread.
As I constantly fiddle and refine my riding position(I also bought a Large), I raised my seat by 10mm last night, then went for a ride and just the act of doing that, placed a bit of strain on my shoulder joints, to the point where I'm thinking perhaps 700mm is too wide for a handlebar.
However I am pretty sure that in a day or two my shoulders will adjust.
