Thanks for all the comments so far! I always forget to mention some critical details. @Alb it’s going to have a 1x setup at least for time being so no need to worry about front derailleur clearance.
As you can see from the geometry drawing the toe overlap problem only exists when mudguards are used. Also my current bike has less clearance and I can’t remember it causing any trouble even at slow speeds. Perhaps the wild tarck bike years weren’t for nothing after all... It may also be that I’m just justifying my bad decisions and bike designing skills but what the heck. Frankly it seems that similar frames and bikes in my size usually have front-center measurements between 595 and 610 mm so it’s not all that bad after all. What I’m more concerned is if 430-600-65 (cs-fc-trail) lead to a potentially balanced ride and steering.
