It is a 21" frame, and it came with 165mm crank. As a taller rider I got a taller stem and raised the seat to the max mark. I also replaced that crank with a longer 170mm one.

I'm concerned for the times I forget to stop pedaling or move the pedal up.

Almost all the bikes i've worked with were old, so yeah I dont know what cartrige hubs look like yet.
