Nice bike - I'm also on my 2nd 44cm Specialized bike with 700c wheels - no toe overlap and they've both been a better fit than my 650c wheel bike, nor do I notice any handling problems.

Just some good reading on smaller bikes, if anyone's interested. There are compromises, it can just be hard to realize it if you've never had the opportunity to ride a proportional bike, because the big names have been pushing 700s on everyone for so long just to save on production costs. I usually ride about a 47, and I'm getting 24" wheels on my next custom bike.

A good framebuilder, like rodriguez or another seattle builder bill davidson, will design a frame to place the rider in a position where they can pedal with maximum efficiency and to handle in the best possible way. If the result of that design is toe overlap then a person just needs to learn how to deal with it in tight turns……so I’d say it’s neither a design fault on a well fitted frame nor a problem.......well and maybe needing more concentration on a fixie
