I have slight to massive overlap on bikes fixed and geared and it's a non issue.

In that case the less clearance the better!

if you're talking about toe overlap you're a slow pussy street rider

commuter, who you know, occasionally has to slow down/turn in order to preserve life...

In that case 3 of the 4 bikes I own are 'wrong'.

Is life worth preserving if it is a life with big clearances?

#yes

Is clearance still clearance if you've filled it with massive tyres?

:(

why are they wrong again? o.0

I've just been informed that toe-overlap doesn't seem to be an issue, and there's definitely nothing wrong with small clearances, so what's up?

I have long legs and short arms. Which means I'm 5'11 and ride a 54. Even with fairly average sized feet i get toe overlap on...

90s steel track frame
2006 steel track frame
2007 carbon road bike (though only with crud catchers fitted)
2010 alu 29er

The point i'm ~~ labouring ~~ making is overlap is a fact of life for some of us (sob).

Nice.

Constant downhill turned up to 11

Horrible photo. Looks like this.

Those bars are good though, even if the angle is controversial.

I'm sure he'll get a good all round view of them as he flies over them the first time he hits a bump.

Yup. I guess the frame/fork is designed for 20c tyres?

Needs matching bar grips, seat is in wrong position, what was the builder of this bike thinking

The frame was designed for 700c wheels.

it has 700c's on it?

Could be. The angles look way too steep, and (possibly) a larger tyre on the rear.

Angles are about 75° to 76°, BB drop is 60mm which is at the large end for a track bike. I suspect the fork is shorter than the frame was designed for, another 10mm on the axle to crown length would sort it right out. The tractor tyre on the back certainly isn't helping.

maaaaaybe?

Mmmk... either:
a) I'm too pissed
b) That Concor is huge
c) So are the Cinelli Pista bars/Stem
d) That bike's tiny

But I raelly like it.

must be 650 front and rear,or maybe smaller the tubing looks huge

I thought of that, bu then I did drink a bit too much.... is it really?
