Toe hitting fender
#3
well now you have some form of toe overlap. lots of people here ride with this problem daily. At first it is something that you will stay aware of.. not turning hard with that foot forward. But in a short amount of time, it will be second nature, just like never coasting is.
you can also adjust the fender if possible.

Yeah, I have the most trouble with mounting the bike. I usually turn at very low speed (like 5mph), so contact hasn't brought me to the ground yet. My fixie is also my commuter bike (10 miles per day); that's why I needed fenders. I would like to solve this problem, preferably without losing body parts. I guess one way is to cut off the bottom part of the fender. Another option is to replace the fork, one that puts the wheel an inch or two forward.
Do touring bikes have this problem? If not, I might just buy a touring bike and convert it into a fixie. Something like a Trek 520.

What makes you think the frame doesn't fit me? In fact, it fits very well. The problem occurs only after the aftermarket fender was installed. I guess the manufacturer (Miyata) did not anticipate people installing aftermarket fenders on their road bikes.
