crank-crank-crank it up...

[quote]you may want to know that in 2007 campag bought out a new version of the crankset which has no bottom bracket and saves weight etc

As a general rule it used to be up to 5'9 or 5'10 = 170 cranks, 5'10 - 6' = 172.5, and over 6' 175 cranks, 177.5 and 180s for really tall people. Obviously personal choice comes in to play as well depending on whether you want to spin the pedals or have the greater leverage of longer cranks. Ullrich always use long cranks as he ground a big gear.

Don't forget the bottom bracket - Ithink it is only the Record that uses 102mm, so will probably require a new one.
