Bikes: Trek Domane SL6 Disc, Jamis Renegade

I bought a Jamis Renegade (I guess what would be called a gravel bike) last year and love it. But my leg length and the frame geometry drove me to a smaller frame than previous bikes and I have toe overlap for the first time that I can remember. Really only an issue at a dead stop, especially on an uphill dead stop - like a traffic light or stop sign on an upslope.

Didn't take long for me to learn how to preplan my stops so my wheel, feet and pedals are positioned right to get going again without my shoe hitting the front tire. Kinda reminded me of when I first used clipless pedals - now just part of muscle memory, but at first freaky.
