Well, I'm 6' nuthin' and my bikes have 170, 175 and 180 cranks. Didn't realize the last one until looking at my Fargo one day and realizing it had these really long crank arms. Never even noticed the difference. Funny enough, my one century is on the bike with too longa cranks.
Probably means that my riding style is sufficiently poor that things like that go unnoticed, but it sure makes buying replacement cranks easy. "What length do you want?"
