Trends are fun to look back at.
Note that Jobst's shoulders are not much wider than the bars; the proportions look about right to my untrained eye.. He was quite tall and rather thin, hence the frame and bars. He is also one of those people who gave so much to the cycling community that he gets a pass on pretty much quirky or dated fit thing he chose to do.
