I have a set of funn full-on bars 760mm wide going spare if they’re any use to you?

chopping bars ended with David Cameron, we dont chop bars anymore, you mention it one more time and you will get CANCELLED

Can we make sure any answers on bar width dont take into account rider height and ape index plz? Just like forum law says on any discussions on tyre pressure and frame/wheel stiffness, rider weight should not be mentioned.
Flat or Riser bars totally depends on forum approval and aesthetics. Not on whatever bar height you want...
6'2" here, slightly negative ape index and old school 711mm x 20 on 2 bikes and 740 x 20 on another. 780 x 60mm rise in pipeline.

I've got chopped "Race Face Deus XC Low Riser" risers on the Inbred and need to swap them for something approaching full-size MTB bars again.
What width is normal these days (I had DH bars that most XC bars are wider than now) and what's a good bang for buck option in 31.8?
Any reason to go to flat bar instead of a riser?
