I am humbled. 650 miles in 4 weeks is great.

I am humbled that you even thought i did that and was not counting the miles on my trainer!!
650 for the year includes the miles standing still on the trainer.  Right now I am doing 60 - 100 miles a week outside which is no great shakes.

BTW I think a lot of the shorter crank revolves around the higher cadence movement in cycling.  Higher cadence and lower stress on muscle fibers to produce the same power output.  I have heard some old guys our age talk about the crank length change taking a slight stress off the knees. 2.5 mm saves you 5mm at the top of the stroke once you have adjusted your saddle up.  I was recently having knee pain and completely got rid of it by moving my saddle up.
