Advice on narrower handlebars, please

my bike came with the Salsa Poco's, 36cm. They were too small. I got a pair of Eva bars instead, they are 40's and are much better even though i don't have 40 cm shoulders.

The great design feature of the Eva bar is that they are flared at the drop. A common size is 36cm/40cm, which means the hoods are 36cm -- perfect shoulder width for many women so you don't get shoulder/neck pain. And the drops ar 40cm, which means you have more leverage to corner and descend. Great design!
