affinity pursuit and toe over lap

does anyone with size small or the 53cm affinity pursuit frame experience bad toe overlap? I'm asking because I'm looking at new cranks, and wondering if I should go no bigger than 165 cranks or if I'd be okay with 167.5. Any help is appreciated.

im not sure if 2.5 mm would make a huge(noticeable) difference in the toe overlap...but then again i could be wrong

I could be wrong, but I feel like the geometry is so tight on most 53cm track bikes that a pursuit frame would have even more toe overlap than the average 53cm frame (53cm Bianchi Pistas have overlap with 165 cranks I believe). I think there's no avoiding it with smaller frame sizes like that.

The toe overlap is pretty bad but I'm used to it. I would stick with the 165's.
