    Interestingly, my 49 cm bike with 172.5 cranks (in my avatar) has no toe overlap. I actually kind of expected that it might, but it doesn't.

    I'm not sure, because she got the bike used (and she has since moved abroad), but based on her riding style (she has a relatively low cadence and puts massive torque on the cranks with big gears--even up mountains), I would think that if anything the crank length is a little on the long side. I am certain they are not shorter than 170s. They could very well be 172.5. All I know for sure about the components is that she hated them, because she's a Campy fan and the bike came with Shimano parts. I think she rides a 48 or 50. Here's a picture of her from this season. Her saddle is a little low there. She'd only had the bike for a few days by the time of the picture, but that doesn't affect the toe issue, which you can kind of see even though she's not quite at 3 and 9 on the cranks.



    She didn't have any toe overlap on her old TCR.

    I'm not saying Cervelos suck or anything. I'd love a 52cm TT bike (P2, P3, or *drool* P4!). It's just that for some reason this older Cervelo didn't live up to the company's goals.
