I ride with 39cm wide Syntace Stratos 200 on my bike. They're quite comfy.

I ride an old pair of road bars. 34 to the best of my knowledge. They are the most narrow drops I have seen and I love them to death cause I can fit through anything.

Nitto B125 (shallow drops) 38cm.... risers 42.4cm..... bull horns 42 cm.
|
36cm drops
37cm risers 37cm bullhorns |
42 time trial bullhorns, kind of want some narrower ones though. i might get a 39 or 40 in the future
|
~38 risers
|
36/38 track drops 38 road bars
|
I measure something like 44 cm at shoulder. I use a variety of bar widths.
44cm - geared roadie 42cm - fixie with road drops (my favorite width for drop bars -feels narrowish for my size, but not too narrow) 40cm - track drops way wide (easily > 50cm) - ssmtb with riser bar |
42 drops
67 for trials. Although 38-40 would be nice on drops. |

I'm running 40cm b123's. I like the look of the b123's when they are smaller, but they are just way too small for me. I have big shoulders :). I run my drops most of the time.
My flat bars are 34cm. I like them small. They suck for climbing though. |

38cm road drops now, I haven't had a chance to ride on them yet though. |

25"/63.5 cm risers on snow bike, 53 cm flats on commuter, 42 cm road bars
|
42 Oval Bullhorn
It seems to be narrow enough to fit through most tight spots I get in and feels just fine with my shoulder width. Its also about exactly the same as whatever the bars are on my Cyclo Cross bike so it feels similar |
on this subject: i'm looking into getting new bars and want to go with slim bullhorns/tt bars. nitto seems to be the best brand for the money, but as far as i've seen they only make drop bars in 36-38cm. should i just buy narrow drop bars and saw them off?
