Narrow handlebars

[Raineman]

Can anyone suggest good quality handlebars that come in 38cm c-c width at a reasonable weight? Most seem to be heavy entry level ones.

I was going to mention Williams Maxim ACS, but they do not offer 38.

I am using the 40, moving from 42. The best bar I've ever used! And light!

Zipp countours come in 38

Easton if you can still get them. The top carbon one with more of a classic drop.
Zipp makes a few options.
Deda if you want alloy
Ive used all of them and its just a matter of finding the right drop.

I've got a 3T ergonova in a 38cm. Comes up a little narrower than my Zipp Vukasprint (Also 38cm but C-C whereas i think the 3Ts are O-O. Also the Zipps were much harder to track down)

Bontrager alloy also comes in 36 $70 from your LBS

I got a 40cm ZIPP bar and it measures 38cm at the hoods.

The width of 3T bars are measured c-c at the drops but because they flare ~1cm on either side, the c-c measurement from the hoods is about 2cm narrower. Which means your "38" 3T bars are actually 36 c-c at the hoods.

3T Ergonova in a 40cm. They measure 40 c-c at the drops and about 38.5 at the hoods.

Description from Art's Cyclery:

Sizing Note: These bars are approximately 16mm smaller in the hoods than at the drops so you may want to consider sizing up. (i.e. a size 44 bar, though the measurement is accurate from center to center at the drops, is actually about a size 42.5 at the hoods)

There's also the PRO VIBE 7S available in 38 c-c but that's aluminum.

Are you sure you have received the right size? According to link Zipp measures at the hoods:

Mine is the Service Course CSL bar. I've been running it since 2012. I just measured it. Its 38cm center to center at the hoods. 40cm outside to outside at the ends of the drops. I guess ZIPP had a different way of measuring at the time.

FSA bars splay outwards at the ends. They are measured c-c at the ends. This means FSA 40cm will ride more like a 38 - they would measure approx. 38.5cm c-c at the hoods.
