Your bike is probably a little bigger than mine, which is only 45cm. The toe overhang (ok, toe-overlap) only occurs on the smallest sizes.

I couldn't go with a larger frame because of the "standover" height. Although, I think the dolce is one of the models where the top tube is slanted, meaning that it is lower in the back, offering greater clearance to enable buy a larger frame and still get sufficient "standover" clearance--it's a different geometry which didn't feel right to me, and I just wanted a titanium frame...

Of course, you're also talking to someone who has to wear a youth helmet with dancing bears on it, so what do you expect?
