I mean, if I have some toe overlap I don't mind but the crank arm would be insane.
Different cranksets have different Q-factors, which plays into how much toe overlap will be present. On my friend's 50cm Parallax, he is using Campy Record Pista crankset which has a very narrow Q-factor, increasing the tow overlap.
