Did a little pro bono research on your behalf. The bars on your Absolute come in 3 widths: 68cm, 71cm and 76cm. I'm just saying... I got mine with the 68cm bars and had the shop cut 3/4" off each end. This may, or may not mean anything at all, just saying. Just saying. But if you get from what I have said that if the shop lets you swap for a wider bar (assuming you don't already have the widest one) for free, well, alright, but if it means buying a new bar, and going through the hassle of levers and shifter swap... well I for one would not. Very much FWIW. Also FWIW, I'm 5'10", have 42cm shoulders and take a 35" shirt sleeve.
