I'm with CT on this one, moustache bars work great for me on offroad/singletrack descents. But then so do 42cm Noodles. I don't get along well with wide bars, and I've tried. In fact, even the old-style M-bars I have are a touch wide, but they're still doable and I like them. I have a tiny bird-shaped body though, no shoulders to speak of.
