But there is much more to it than that. Besides width, there's drop, depth, and the angle of the bend, whatever those things are officially called.
Deda lists the following measurements for their bars:
Width Measurement - Outside
Bar Width
Bar Drop
Bar Reach
Drop Bend Style Anatomic
Bar Clamp Diameter
Weight
If I knew a place that made custom bars I might send in the ones from my Bottecchia and have them copied in a wider width. I love the shape better than any I've found but they could be wider.
