"wide bars looked cool"

Fuck, did I miss a trend. I still think they look stupid. But I'm not buying them for looks, I want leverage, motherfuckers. ;)

His formula has me on 790-800mm bars.

Did he say you needed wrist crumbling 35mm dia bars as well?

I think its all bollocks tbh. I am quite happy with my 710 - 740mm bars. Mountain bikes have totally hooked the continuous next big thing need over the last 10 years.

I can get 780mm bars (20cm wider than I have) for £25 so I reckon it's worth a try. If they suck, they'll go on ebay/here. If I like them, I'll buy the £300 Thomson bars.
