When these threads happen, everyone starts asking about BB height, crank length, pedal style, etc. There are so many variables that factor into pedal strike that maybe we should all measure our bikes in a standard way to see who is best and worst off.

I propose the following: rotate the cranks so that one pedal is at bottom dead center (closest to the ground, for you non-engineer types) and lean the bike over on a flat level surface. Measure the angle of lean when the pedal just touches the ground. Maybe measure the angle when there is 1/4" of clearance or something. This might make a great poll thread.
