To some degree, I think you can get adapted to anything. Most of my bikes are 40cm, and that feels "normal". One bike has a 42cm bar, and that does feel fairly wide when I first get on the bike. At the end of the ride, it feels normal.

I go through the same thing with crank arm lengths. Some bikes are 170mm, some are 175mm (half of the bkes?), and one is 177.5mm. When I was spending all of my time on the 175mm cranks, it would feel weird just riding the bike with the 177.5mm cranks, even though it's a small change. Now I spend more time on the 170mm crank bikes, and I really don't notice the changes anymore. Or maybe it's the fact that I'm also switching between downtube shifters, bar end shifters, Grip Shifters, and Paul thumbies? Might also include switching between toe clips and SPDs... and between upright bikes and recumbents.
