    I don't mean to be a bummer, but that looks like it has wicked toe overlap. I wish there were more non-700c production options for those of us on the smaller end, there are just so many fit compromises to accommodate those disproportionate wheels. As long as you're happy though, that's all that matters. Congrats!

    Nandy, this bike is replacing a Ruby comp (stolen) that I rode for nearly 5 years and almost 25,000 miles - same size- 44 cm with 700c wheels. I never had a problem with toe overlap so it should be fine. Of all the bikes I tried in 2011 and this year, it fits me best.

    Congrats, AZ. I've never had toe overlap, either, and I've had 3 47 cm bikes with 700c wheels.
