I have had her since December 2006 and never really thought about the narrow bars. But I notice a huge difference in the 42's. I am thinking a 40 cm might be a happy medium but am timid about changing the bars.

I cannot comfortably ride with my hands like you describe yours. Can you be fitted to bars? I mean is there some science to it like bike fitting or is it trial and error. The 38 cm seem like what a narrow shouldered woman would like but my wrists sure don't work with them.
