Nice ride Joe! That gives me an idea of how the proportions of mine will look. I briefly tried 155 cranks but they felt strange and didn't last long. I used to ride 170 but but have been riding 165s for the past couple years. I have some of the Silver two piece cranks in 167 for the Susie. Wonder if I'll be able to feel the difference. I can feel it going from 165 to 170. If Riv was set on doing odd sizes, I kind of wish they'd gone 163.
The look took a little while to grow on me but now I love the swoop. Looking forward to more stand over clearance when riding in snow or off road.
