if you can get your hands on one i'd suggest test riding a 170mm crank set. i used to ride 175mm on everything but after switching to 170mm on my bmx about 10 years ago riding anything longer make feel like i'm going crazy. i find that 170mm is much more comfortable to spin and as i recall we're pretty close in height, so maybe 170mm will also work for you.
Thanks for the feeback, Patrick. Whether or not there is any real correlation or not is still yet to be proven, but I've get extra long legs for my height and have been very satisfied with the 175mm length. I'm really hesitant to make any length change more than the switch to 172.5m would provide.
