I've been looking into small handlebars but it's actually really hard to find. My shoulders are 32cm wide but I don't think I'll find anything smaller than 36cm (?).
I was originally looking for aero-flat, carbon, handlebars similar to the 3t aerotundo but pretty much all the aerobars I've found are 40cm. I'll go with the Zipp standard bars that are among the only 36cm I've identified but if anyone has a suggestion that would be much appreciated.

All bars are not measured in, or are shaped the same way. I use FSA Compact which are measured centre to centre at the end of the drops, and which splay outwards. This means at the hoods they typically measure 1.5cm narrower, so that a 40cm FSA Compact (if they come in 40cm) will ride more like a 38.
My point being ... lots of variations in sizing.

Lots of brands have 36 (Deda, Profile, Zipp, Specialized, FSA, Bontrager), but the Salsa is the only 34 I know of.
