Road Handelbars
Deda Elementi makes 46cm, so does ITM and Salsa. I am sure others do as well:~)
some bars are measured from outside to outside, others from center to center. ie. an o-o 46cm by one company, (eg. deda) is similar to another company's 44cm measured c-c (e.g. easton).
my gut tells me that its highly doubtful that you need a handlebar wider than 44c-c/46o-o. You would have to have really wide shoulders. I'm talking linebacker. The problem is more likely to be a) the stem or top tube is too long or too short, b) your fork is non-standard, or c) you are not used to a road bike being more twitchy than a mountain bike.
Have your bike and yourself looked at by someone who knows something about road bikes.
"Yes my fork is non standard "" Cane Creek "" and handlebars 44 cm.Never gave it any thought. From what you are saying this not the best handling setup. Probably better for speed. I will look into this . Thanx

Also the Titec Malone comes in 46cm. I got a closeout a few years ago ...

They've since became popular ($90 yowchie!) in cyclocross, but you might get lucky on eBay.

Thanx.. looking for widest possible. Having hard time steering this RB. I noticed do not have this problem with MB which has bigger spread handle bars
Surprised to see something that big.I would like to mtry the 48 cm to se if it helps

Nitto makes the 177 and 176 models in 48 c-c. They're wide as the day is long, and heat-treated, too.
Euro-Asia imports them and quite a few places have them. Rivendell is probably the easiest on-line source.
