I'm 5 7'' with a 31'' inseam - I've been riding 165's on my fixed and find them alot more comfortable than my touring bike, which has 170's, and gives me twinges in the knee (same pedals and cleats on both bikes) I think it's down to q-factor aswell as the tourer has a triple and the q is a lot wider than the fixed. Worth changing the cranks on the tourer for shorter ones? better to be safe than sorry etc?
