I recently built up a large Vagabond, I was just reading about other Genesis bikes of LFGSS and found this so thought I'd share my experience with toe overlap.
I've got size 47 feet, but wear size 48 shoes for cycling (thick socks in winter). With 175mm cranks, WTB Nano 40mm tyres and mudguards, I don't get toe overlap.
I used to have a Cross Check - loads of toe overlap, which eventually annoyed me. I swapped everything onto an On One Inbred - no toe overlap, but I missed drop bars. I then spent ages on Bike Insights (also really like that site) trying to work out what dropbar frames might work and settled on a Vagabond in L.
I am fairly sure the Vagabond has more pedal spindle to tyre distance than the CDF? @MisterMikkel did you adjust the tyres when you looked it up? BikeInsights gives the Vagabond 2" by default I think.

Less! Damn, I was hoping for more as already get toe overlap with 38mm and guards on the CDF. Hmm. Maybe I need a longitude.
