Glad I stumbled across this thread. I'm 5' 11" and am rebuilding the drivetrain on my Litespeed with 172.5 9 speed cranks, can not get 172.5s anymore. Was about to order 175s until I saw your replies. Going to go with 170s, hope it works out OK.
UPDATE: I've been riding my Litespeed all summer and totally forgot about the shorter cranks. Honestly, I can not tell any difference.
