I'm down to 150 now and the small fit me better -- more compression on my skinny legs. Slight compression seems to reduce my lifelong problems with muscle spasms -- quads, hamstrings, etc. While compression isn't a magic bullet for everyone it sure works for me. I use compression socks too, each designed for left and right feet and not supposed to be interchangeable. Sure reduces my problems with arch spasms when hammering, especially when I stand to climb or sprint.
I'm 5'11", 33" inseam, 30" waist now (maybe a little smaller), with disproportionately long thighs. So shorts/bibs that reach just above the knee on most folks reaches only mid-thigh for me. That's the only, umm... shortcoming of the Przewalski, Black Bibs and most shorts. But Black Bibs and a couple other makers offer long-leg versions, so I'm going to try another set of Black Bibs with the longer leg.
Thanks for the information, I think that confirms what I had felt would be the correct size for me.
