Damn. those are long cranks. And yeah, the bike makes perfect sense for an actual CX racing bike, or someone in your shoes. And to be honest, it's pretty damn good as is with my ~35mm, and lightweight, slicks. My boss has confirmed he would kill me if I picked up some 650b wheels, though. haha. I really can't see a negative besides tube/tire availability since I'd probably want to run 38-42mm street tires. And something like 50mm trail tires.
