Well, Im 6'2" and riding a ~62cm frame...and the longer cranks give me better leverage...especially on longer rides when my nice smooth spin starts to fizzle out...I think I also like them on the hills to pull(push?) my 220lbs or beer muslce up to the top. I have shorter cranks on my track bike(Mexican made Carabela...sweet chrome lugs) but I think thats also because its made for the Velodrome and much higher cadence.
