I ride with 145mm cranks and a very setback seatpost like this one. I had Mark Stonich at BikeSmith design shorten a pair of crank arms for me a while back and he did a great job!!

Or maybe a pendulum crank
Wow, thank you so much!! I asked at my lbs about shorter cranks and got a "well, I don't think that will help". Sure wish shops would consider hiring an older person who has experienced difficulties with mobility, there's a HUGE market of us out there. I'm going to take your links in with me and show the guy, see if they can be fitted to my bike. Thank you!!
