I'm a little confused as to why a road being bumpy would be any sort of deciding factor when choosing a crankset.
Crank arm length isn't just based on height. Because pedal strike while cornering is an issue on track bikes because the pedals are always rotating when the bike is moving, it's common practice to use shorter cranks than you would on a road bike. Without knowing any other details about how long your legs are, I would probably recommend 170mm for someone being 6'1".
