    Centre to centre means the distance between the centres of the handlebar tubes at the widest point (i.e where the shifters are mounted). You can get a more accurate measurement by measuring from the outside edge of one tube to the inside edge of the other (since you are measuring to an edge rather than to the centre of a tube).

    Measureement is at the end of the drops.
