Even with puny 35mm Schwalbe Supremes and SKS 45mm fenders, I can get
toe strike on my 58cm Atlantis if I try hard enough on start-up. This
is because sometimes my (size 12) foot placement on Grip Kings is
accidentally too far forward initially on start-up.
But its not a major issue for me. Like

Such a good looking bike. Black w/ cream is one of my favorite Atlantis
colors.

FWIW, I found that adding (Velo Orange, 35 mm aluminum) fenders to my
Motobecane actually helped with TCO, for, though they increased the TCO,
obviously, they also provided a smooth, curved surface to deflect the
offending toe clip (now, the offending toe, since I've switched back, fickle

Both shoe (or toe clip) size and frame size would also have to
factored in to determine if there is any TCO.

David,
64cm Atlantis, 37x700 tires AND fenders AND 180mm crank arms AND XL
toe clips...about 2-3mm of TCO. Looks like I could eliminate it by
triming the fender strust shorter.
Obviously if you get rid of the fenders OR the 180mm cranks OR the XL
toe clips it would probably clear.
Thanks for
I sold my 58 Atlantis because of TCO. I was running Schwalbe Big
Apples and XL toe clips though. I went back to a 56 simply because TCO
bothers me and I never had it with the 56 previous to the 58. I
obviously don't have the brain power to remember it's there so I
choose to make riding as thought
Thanks, thanks, thanks for all the feedback. I guess it's not the actual
toe clips, but just bashing the tires with your shoes and falling over.
This would be on a trail/mountain type of a build.
I'm thinking a 61cm or maybe a 58cm. 172.5mm cranks. Nanoraptors/Big
Apples. 45/10.5 sized SPD
Do you have a line on an Atlantis? I saw one very reasonably priced
earlier this week on SF Craigslist.

Idle conjecture... I did see the raw-powdercoat in SF CL if that's what
you're talking about. But no, just giving me something to think about...

If you're really looking for an atlantis I'd recommend calling around

I've seen some pictures of KMs with drop bars and they look nice.
