jobob--I am coveting your Rivendells. A Romulus AND a Saluki sounds wonderful.

I am 5'3" with 170mm cranks on both bikes, road (700cc) and hybrid (26" wheels).

Let me toss another question into this, if I may: For those of you using a non-standard crank (a crank other than the one your bike came with), what prompted the change?

If your bike is a custom job, what determined the crank size?

If your bikes have differing crank sizes, can you tell the difference? How do they compare?
