I was going to write:
"With flared bars it only makes sense to measure at the hoods, as that is the measurement comparable to a traditional bar. Salsa measures this way."
But then I found this

I just measured the set of 45cm B135s I have. They're measured c-c at the drops and are about 41cm (ie 4cm narrower) at the hoods.

I'm looking into buying the Nitto B135 handlebar and PlanetX got a crazy deal on them, but only the 39cm version: http://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/HBNIB135/nitto-b135-randonneur-touring-handlebar
Now I was wondering, does anyone know where they measure that 39cm? Is it at the tops, hoods or drops? Cause 39cm at the drops is way to small
