If this is correct Merckx's bike at that time was on 265. If that's good enough for cornering when racing, with clearance required for wide pedal and cages, does a rando bike really need a higher BB (I understand it'll be just fine)?

I like my BB low. Nothing wrong with that. I am just saying 270 aint that high. Also depends on the wheel base. My cargo bike suffers badly from pedal strike, but it isn't a problem if you know it's a thing

Those flat MTB pedals need a lot of clearance don't they. Now you'll know for the next one!
