And this.

A) Those are not the right cranks for your build. If you're in flatlandia (aka the valleys of CA), running anything less than a 42T crank is silly as you'd need < 15T cog to get faster than 12mph at 100rpm
2) 175mm cranks are a horrible idea for a FG bike. You need to be able to take a turn without pedal strike
C) Front brake or not is your choice but I recommend starting with a front brake

Do more research, then come back with more specific questions. Don't spend money on the wrong (or crappy) stuff.
