i think the eclat are flatland cranks so stay away from those. the stolen have been proven to be very solid cranks. the frame is really preference but def go with a 20.6 tt if you are 5 7. the only exception is if you are still growing you could consider the 21, but it might feel a lil awkward till you get used to it.
stolen cranks there warranty is good and the Actual Warranty Claim Rate is 0.0006%

yah but thats only for the arms. its more likely to break your spindle then the arms. IMO and i dont think the eclat cranks are for flatland

I have the stolen team cranks with a FSA Ti spindle and they feel great, I don't think they'll snap, well everything will break at a point, but with normal riding/grinding, they do great. I've had the arms over a year now and the spindle a month. I have the red powder coat and it's very strong, but no matter what, if you grind it, it'll scratch. Do consider them when you're in the market for cranks. As for the Eclat cranks, they do look nice too, but idk if they have the lifetime warranty. With the frame, I think the 20.6 should do, but like shadowcalling said, if you're still growing, maybe a 21 would be better, in time. Good Luck :)

Just another fan of the Stolen Team cranks here. I had profiles on my old bike, they were older but still really nice and they have not changed drastically over the past 15 years or so anyway, just small changes here and there. Mine might have been the DJ cranks or Race cranks I am not really sure. Anyway I really liked them and they are still perfectly fine after all these years, I thought they were the beefiest things you could get, that is until I got my Stolen Cheater with Team Cranks. Man these things are so beefy, I know that doesn't necessarily mean they are stronger and most might say I should put my profiles on and sell the Team Cranks but I really like them so far. And they are pretty fairly priced at $130 for the arms/spindle and $25 for the BB, so about $160 all together, not bad at all.
I wonder if the lifetime warranty applies for competes that come with the cranks, which is really only the Cheater. I bought mine after the warranty started so I have to look into that.
