"If you have to use shorter cranks than optimal just in order to not have toe overlap with the front wheel, then the frame is too small for you. "


I kind of get what he's trying to say here (we are talking road geometry). If it was that one-in-a-million fit, where the crank is just nicking - the next size up frame might clear @ that same crank length. It would be like hitting the lottery.

Does that make sense?
