My bike is totally fine to ride, I just don't physically have the time or energy for it most the time these days.

I've tried everything from 42cm drop bars up to 780cm flat bars and most in between.

The wider bars do help with stability. I dont want to ride terrain this technical, so I'll be cutting down my bar's, although not as much as I woukd initially have wanted to, as I must compensate for the geometry the bike is designed around.
