The frame is a 58cm C-to-C. I am 6'2", so it is in the limit of being big enough for me, although I'm sure it will be fine.
But, bearing that in mind does it make sense to choose crank length specific to sizing? If so, should I go shorter or longer?
I had presumed shorter, so that the min drop from hip to pedal, at the top of a pedal stroke, is maximised? But, that does mean that the maximum drop is shortened at the bottom of the stroke, so I would raise the saddle more to compensate. Seems like a paradox.
Maybe it doesn't matter?
