I have 165's too. I can't compare them to aything else, my bike just came with them and the LBS guy seemed to think that would be good someone my size (smallish).

And FTR, I am 5'3", and not "all legs" by any stretch of the imagination. I just measured my inseam - crotch to floor - it was 29.5" (hard to measure yrouself efficiently though).
