Karl: Thanks for the kind comments. There is no pedal strike on the ground and no toe overlap. Now, try it with longer cranks and you might get different results. The bike was built with Tektro 556 brakes and I used salmon pads in them. Btw, there is enough travel in the 556 slots to actually mount and ride with a 559 wheel on a 700c wheel bike, but the handling suffers. I just did it to see if it could be done. Here it is on another bike.
