Interesting that you mention, for long distance riders no toe-clip overlap. For my Custom Calfee Tetra Pro that I will receive in a week or so, I ordered it with that kind of geometry and with fenders as I want it as a commuting bike. It is nice to know that my aesthetic and desires are validated. My first Calfee was custom-sized for me and had toe overlap which only was a factor a couple of times when first starting out and mis-balancing just as my toe hit the tire. In riding it was not an issue at all. That said, as it came time to decide what I would want differently on my second custom Calfee I decided that I would accept a hand-wrapped head tube to give the angle necessary that would allow for no overlap with fenders yet still have the short reach I needed to the bars.
Thanks for giving a post with your thoughts. I'm sure others appreciate it without thinking to say it in words.
