In the never enging saga of me trying to dial in my set up, I am looking for narrower Noodles.
I have a slight falling thru feeling still with my 44 Noodles and think 42's are more my size.
 
The 'stache came on my used bleriot so I cannot verify history. But it looks great except for the scratch on the right collar from someone mounting it I guess.
 
I can email pics of interested.

I've had Noodles from 48 down to 42, and prefer the 42's. And, I have
wide shoulders.

The "falling through" sensation you describe was something I
experienced, and the 42's resolved it.

Best bars ever, IMO.

I am a small framed guy.
 
Think Jackie Chan minus 3/4 of the muscle mass and 30 lbs more fat added. That's me. Short limbs and small frame.
 
I got the 44's because Rivbike recommended them for small males.
But I gotta go narrower.
Hope someone is looking for a 'stache bar.

I too found that I prefer narrow bars -- the 42s on the Fargo feel better than the 46s I traded them for; and I'm not particularly wide in the shoulder.

But! Narrower bars do not work as well, at least for me, off road: the Fargo on tech sing tr is scary! -- not that I ride tech s tr much. 

FWIW, I've got 42 and 44 cm Noodles (your choice) to trade for something longer and shallower and no wider. I note that the Noodle has the same reach and drop as the 185s (90 and 140) but given the sweep-back, the ramps are longer and flatter. I want something with ramps longer and flatter still.

Thanks Patrick.
All I have to trade, bar-wise, for now is the moustache.
