I wonder if that blue isn't more French and less green in real life, but in
either case, great color.
The stamped logo on the S!lver crank is a really nice touch.

Another highlight for me is the pedals. I think they said they would be

nice bearings and nice robust grippy pins might be really good.

The large is huge. Even the medium is as big or bigger than the largest

I would think that it is based on your fit on a bicycle. Thigh
flexibility, how far you sit back on the bicycle etc and where your knee is
over toe is probably going to determine the best crank length.
