[RBW] Re: Best handlebar width on a 61 Atlantis?
Ended up going for 48 cm. They came today, and they are ENORMOUS! Looking forward to putting them on my Atlantis.

I ride a 61 cm Atlantis at 5'11" and 170 lbs. All of my drop bar bikes have 46 cm bars on them. Nitto Noodle & Soba, Soma Hwy 1, Salsa Cowbell, and my favorite Salsa Cowchipper.

I'm a 5'7" -ish woman and I ride 46cm Nitto model 185...aka Dream bars on my riv road and I like the extra width. Even though I do not have particularly broad shoulders, I feel like it opens up my chest...also seems to make the ride more stable especially in crosswinds On Friday, January 13, 2017 at 8:28:18 AM UTC-6, BenG wrote: > > Oh yes, go wide. > My 60cm Sam just got noodled with 48cm in a dirt drop stem, and I went > from unsure to big fan on the first 2-hr ride.

The last drops I had on my Atlantis were 48s. Great bars. I swapped them out for Albatross bars a few years ago. Now, I'm thinking Boscos. My Saluki is set up with those, and they're the best.
