Handlebar width
This is probably a stupid question. I was wondering what is the width of handlebars on F55 Felt '06 54. I sent a question to Felt, and their reply was 420 (no units). Now I don't think they ment cm or inches (those would be some huge handlebars). So that leaves mm, but that would translate to about 16.3 inches. I don't think that correct either. So what gives?
Thx.

It is 420mm... or 42 bars. It depends on how they take measurements... center to center or outside to outside... but 40, 42, 44 (Center to Center) are most popular.

That's about right. 42cm.
Now it's a matter of preference as to whether you want them wider or narrower.
Wider really helps you sprint and climb. Much more leverage. Plus it opens up your lungs when your arms are spread wider.
One cm means a lot!
