I am. I have narrow shoulders and the bars that would come stock were always too wide for me (I'm 5'11" and ride a 55/56). It feels much more natural now on 38cm hood to hood, and I don't think I'll ever go wider than 40. You do end up with long stems though, I have a 140mm on my TCR and the position is not ridiculously aggressive.

Yep this. I went from 42 to 38 as I didn't have a 40 to hand. Generally liked the narrower position but started to get some lower back pain which I believe was due to the reduced reach compression.
Are you a fan of narrower bars then?
