That's a good point.
I've never once had a problem with a road (not touring) frame and proper pedals (atacs, keos etc) and 165mm cranks. I crashed that bike in so may ways I would have found that issue if it existed. That bike had a BB height lower than a track bike. Tourers ... perhaps a different story. Long Haul Truckers certainly do have low BBs. A Cross Check would be fine.

I would not be averse to doing this but these frames tend to have low bottom brackets! I'd prefer something that's been designed as a fixed gear ride...
