Randonneur style handlebars

Just about to put up a wanted add for some B136, do people recommend sizing up or going for usual size on these?

Re:

I myself usually use a 40mm bar but as these are slightly flared I use a 42mm.
Planet X have these for £29, you won’t find cheaper even secondhand.

Hi, new here, literally just registered to ask this question.
I'm debating between B135 anf B136 and some websites list that B136 is compatible with bar end shifters, is that not the case for B135? Different diameters at the end?
Leaning more towards the B135 because of the shorter reach and longer drop.

Cheers

Hi
I run B136 and B135 and both are the same diameter so couldn't work out why you can't run bar end shifters on either one. Will double check tomorrow for you, but don't recall any difference.
