Crank length, like q-factor, is an odd one. Plenty of people choose a length based nearly purely on the use of the bike in question. Plenty of people do the opposite, and base their crank length purely on fit.
I'm of the latter type, and run 165mm cranks on all my bikes (ikle legs). Except for my SS 29er, which has massive 175mm cranks for leverage. But thats a completly different style of riding.
Basically its a bit, meh. As Hippy said.
The one thing I would say, is that if 175mm fits you on the roadie. There's no reason to go less than 170mm on the track bike. Check in the trackie section. But I cant see why you cant just run 175mm on the track.....
