@Cycliste has this problem - trying to buy groupsets with 165mm cranks. The only advice I can give is to shop around - they are out there, although they're unlikely to be the best deals out there. It's usually a case, I think, of finding out how much a complete 165mm groupset will cost, then working out how much a groupset with a set of cranks which are too long and a suitable 165mm crankset will cost and guessing how much you can get for the brand new crankset you don't need.

Time for me to get together a list of parts I want for my custom touring bike, we have decided on either 1x10 or 1x11 groupset with flat bars and it seems Shimano is the cheaper and arguably better option that SRAM.
Any suggestions? Most places seem to only stock 170mm or 175mm as the crank arm length as part of a set. Is getting each part individually the only way to get 165mm? And there doesn't seem to be that many choices for 165mm anyway?
My bike fit says I need 165mm and it's what I have always used...
