How common was this on on-topic bikes, especially in the mid- to late 70s when short wheelbases became in vogue?
Is it a problem in real riding conditions?
I have 172.5mm cranks on a bike and already there's noticeable overlap (toe can touch front tire when wheel is turned at a certain angle) and wonder if going to 175mm is asking for trouble.
What did Merckx do, given he rode on 175mm cranks?
