Once thing to keep in mind about these bars is they flare out a bit in the drops - so they might even be 36cm at the tops, but 38cm in the drops.

Narrow is aero!

(I'm 5'10" for reference)
Even I have 38cm bars on my more-aero bike. They lack leverage for sprinting, but that's not really a factor for me.
