And the advantage with many 175 mm cranks is that they are often offered at bargain prices as overstock.

that is the recommended method, the other method is purchasing new cranks from TA specialties so make them in your desired sizes. I bought 185mm TA crank last year. Verdict... I like my 180mm record cranks best.
