Honestly, I am quite shocked myself. I had come to accept that I couldn't afford custom and manufacturers weren't going to offer the frame I would want and 650's on a stock bike. I figured I would just have to manage the toe overlap. I am not sure if it is my riding style, shoes, pedals or the bike. The only review I found of my bike before I bought it mentioned the toe overlap. Maybe I just haven't done it yet.

I think Caligurl said she doesn't have the problem on her Ruby either? I believe there was a debate about the elimination of the toe overlap making it not handle as well. Since I don't race, I don't notice this. My Synapse does everything I ask of her without complaining.

Of course one other downside of a tiny frame- I have to use the smaller water bottles!
