LisaSH - Acromnion to acromion. Got 38cm today doing it myself and got 38 cm in the past when someone else did it. I've got narrow shoulders but very long arms. Finding shirts that fit is quite a chore sometimes.
I will say that I'm surprised at how much impact a little bar width difference makes: I had a 42 cm Cinelli that came with one bike, and was surprisingly awkward for me. (switched for a 40cm Salsa short-n-shallow cuz the store was out of 38cm) My 42 Salsa Bell Laps that came on my Surly aren't too bad, but on longer rides or during tricky hold-the-line situations with traffic they also feel awkward. My LBS trimmed down the flat bars on my Kona Dew and Kona Smoke.
Mostly, I think I'm just fussy....
(I don't recall being this fussy when I was younger. What gives?)
But those Nittos sure are pretty! Very classy.
