rossiny

I never understood this toe thing , until I bought a Casati Ellis. It was a wonderful bike , but I just didn't understand why my Rossin Record i bought new in 1985 about had no overlap but the Casati did? The toe clips cleared by about 1/2 inch on my Rossin. It road beautiful and I never thought about this. Then I bought that Casati and it had toe overlap. Another time I accidentally bought a Schwinn Voyageur touring bike, same major toe overlap. I sold both bikes. I realize it almost never comes into play, except if your riding in the city and make a tight turn , even then, you can do the one pedal pump trick. But for me no toe overlap on my bikes. I have since become a fan of vintage mountain bikes.. no toe overlap 🚫
