I suck at riding so I'm looking for balance between stability and pedal strikes. 80mm BB drop with 175mm cranks is a pedal strike galore.

BB drop is how far below the hubs the BB sits (in relation to an imaginary horizon between the F&R hubs, as an unloaded bike)
Low drop means more perched atop the bike feeling, easier to lift the front wheel/ hop
High drop more stable at high speeds, better cornering feel.There isn't really a right or wrong drop, its a personal thing.

The Moxie will be back in stok early Feb. To any taller riders keep in mind that the seattube is only 420mm.
Another similar UK steel HT is Stif Squatch. I didn't like the 80mm BB drop tho.
