  • issue with big 700c on the short gang is toe overlap becomes unreal.
    650 would in theory allow big tyres without change to toe overlap.

    You're right.

    Seeing that 700c x 23mm is more or less identical to a 650b x 42mm, so you might actually get less toe overlap with a 38mm tyres, a very slightly lowered BB, and slightly lighter handling.
