53cm Steamrollers--toe overlap?
 
I'm thinking about getting some Sugino 75's for the Surly Steamroller...

In the size 53cm, is there any toe overlap w/ cranks? And with what length cranks? (I'm trying to figure out if getting some 170mm's would be bad.) Oh, I would probably use MKS medium toe clips.

I ride a 53cm Steamtroller with 165 cranks and there is toe overlap even with clipless pedals....and I have tiny feet. Don't let that sway you against buying the Steamroller. Toe overlap is no big deal.

Seriously. I don't know where all of these people get the idea that toe overlap is the worst thing in bikes. So much so, at times, as to not buy a bike they want because of toe overlap.

Don't worry about the toe overlap on the 53cm Steamroller, you shouldn't be turning the wheel enough while under power to really screw yourself anyway.
