it's really more important to have a bike that fits and a spin that you can get on top of. if you're tall i'd say go for the 175. if you're really short or have a low bb then beware.
Could you tell me what you mean by getting on top of the spin?

Also I have no problem with pedal strike and the 175mm. I may have mentioned that the only real way to get a good comparison would be to jump from a 175mm bike to a 170mm or shorter crank and feel the difference. Of course there couldn't be too many other variables, say one bike being a Pista concept and the other a Windsor Hour.
