Also, narrow bars, 33-35cm wide, require longer reach because when you bring the arms together (from say 44cm road bars), the back goes up. To get the back to go down again, you need to go outwards...with more reach.
Thanks, that's helpful as I'm 6'2" with avg or shorter torso, but long, gangly arms.
Road bars are 42, but I get what you're saying. And to compensate for stack I'll just hunt down a stem with the correct upwards angle.
Obviously position would need to be refined on any frame, but getting the frame right to start is massively important.
Again, I value your insight, thank you for the help.
