I am thinking of changing the crank out on my daughters bike, it has a 165mm on it now and I think it would work better for her if it were more like a 150mm. The problem that I am having is finding a double crank that small for her. I have found a Niche young crank that I can order from a place over in England and also found a guy in Mn that is taking a bmx crank and turning it into a triple configuration. The best that I can figure that he is doing is taking a crank that is called a Euro crank, it seams to be set up to work as a double from the beginning. Anyone know of any other ways to get her a 150mm crank? I noticed that DBRK used a 150 on the bike he built for his wife.

I have tried all these places and had some luck but not alot....Sheldon Browns place does not have the 150mm in stock but can order it, will take atleast 2 weeks for them to get then a week to get to me....besides that I can get a 155mm or a 140mm from bikesmithdesign
