What size were you aiming for?
680mm=win, IMO.

Measure twice, cut once.

Top idea, can't imagine why people even bother buying wider bars when they could do this instead...

I'm talking an extra 1cm maybe either side nothing too drastic.. I am genius!!

620mm on an XC bike is fine! I used to run a 580mm flat bar on my race bike, which I have now changed to a 620mm low riser. It even feels wide to me!

Wow 620!
My original GT had 500mm flat.
XC bike has 590mm flat. Orbea Alma.
Fun bike has 650mm low riser and feels too wide.Wouldn't have thought you'd have any problems, except with the fashion police.
