So true and a point reemphasized for me Saturday. I did 25 miles on a 80's Bianchi with my standard 42cm bars and all was well. As soon as I got back with that one I hoped onto the Kuwahara with bars that are may 38cm. Right away I felt the difference and by about 10 miles into that 25 mile lap I had that familiar pain at the base of my neck in between my shoulders. Narrow bars just don't work for me.
