Hi Kathi,

Thanks for your thoughts! I think you're probably right that I shouldn't try to compensate for the squirrelliness by getting a too-wide handlebar. I had my husband measure me per Terry's way of determining handlebar width just now, and I came out even smaller than a 38 cm, so when I saw that I realized it would be silly to change to something even wider.

However, I am not sure about what you say about the Terry t-bar not being a short-reach bar. They claim to be. Take a look at:

Am I misunderstanding what they're saying?

As for the Deda 4 Girls handlebar, where did you (or your LBS) find them? I did a google search and could only find them for ordering in the UK!

Thanks,
Emily
