Help please

Do you remember having plenty of clearance, or was toe tap sometimes an issue in very sharp turns?

I had plenty as far as I remember.

I didn't buy the bike new. I bought it used. Inside the manual the bike shop had written 53 cm Trek 1000. I sure would have thought a 54 would have been too large for me.

I'm on the search for a new bike. I wanted this to compare too. I was never certain that this bike was the perfect fit. I bought it and really didn't ride anything else to compare it to.

I want something with a more relaxed geometry like a touring bike. I'm wide open for ANY AND ALL SUGGESTIONS.
