I had the opportunity to ride a bike with 215mm crankarms. The guy's whole deal was "pedal circle" and he'd ordered a custom frame (Bill Boston?) with a very high bottom bracket to accommodate the cranks. I rode a couple blocks, then turned around and rode back. Massive leverage on the pedals but it felt like my knees were about to smack me in the nose.
