Hi Chris, Another list member mentioned the RM-013 above. I'm 6'5" - 97pbh and tried a 48cm RM-013 but their sizing method is deceptive and different compared to Noodles and possibly other models. It's more like ~43cm at hoods, measuring 48cm at center to center of bar ends after flare. I had previously made the mistake of assuming these were measured just like Noodles... they are not! I previously listed these for sale or trade but still have them available and had since acquired my desired 52cm width RM-013 via an unrelated trade.
If you check out the RM-013 and think they look like something you'd want to try, my 48cm remains available and they closely match your noted 42cm hood width, with flare in the drop portion only (which may or may not be a feature you'd like) but they retain the more standard hood placement when compared to more severely flared 'dirt drops.' $80 shipped lower 48. I'm open to trades as well, though my want list has reduced somewhat after checking off some boxes with alternate trade transactions. This is also partly why I haven't relisted or updated my FS/Trade posting until I get a chance to re-prioritize and update my wishlist. Please contact off list if you have any interest and wish to discuss further.
