I don't know anything about these bars but what range do you have for the placement of the shifters on these bars? Can they be placed in the proper position for correct reach? Sounds like that's MimiTabby's concern.

I went from a 38 cm bar to a 34 cm and I'm so much happier. On my mtn bikes I had to have my bars cut narrower and the shifters moved closer to the stem for good hand placement, so I wonder if this size of bar would work for a small person.

MimiTabby, it's not that expensive to change your bars, the cost of the bar + tape + labor. If you need a wider bar it might be a good consideration. But you'll have to decide if 2 cm, 3/4" according to my ruler, is that much of a difference.
