I'm 193cm so I need XL bibs, but they're definitely the shortest leg bibshorts I have, to the point where I prefer to wear compression socks over my quads so I don't look too silly!

Really? I look at my husband's knicks, and look at mine, and see no difference at all. The stretchiness of the lycra takes care of the anatomical differences. As I said above, my husband uses a pair of my winter knicks and I can assure you he is built like a normal male. In what way do you think they are different?

As for how Lycra fits the male anatomy, the strong of stomach can google "Polish cycling team" but do not under any circumstances post the image or a link here (1) what is seen cannot be unseen & (2) you will be justifiably banished

Haha! Yes, I've seen that photo. A strong case for thick black lycra.
