Looking at the geometry here, there's no sizes listed for the crank arms, so they're all likely 170. Bottom bracket height is the same for all sizes, and the wheels are listed as 650 x 47. Looks like the difference is in the head tube and seat tube lengths. The top tube is quite a bit shorter, which is one of the big issues for me. A longer stem can only do so much.
