My son who is 5' 10" went to Evan's cycles to ask about what touring frame size he should have, they said 21" so that is what I bought, I finished the project and he test rode it yesterday all brill apart from when his left foot is pointing forward on the pedals he cannot steer sharp right as the wheel and mudguard hit his foot same the other way. I have fitted it with a 175mm crank arm length chainset, but even if it was 165mm length I think he would still have the same problem.
Is this a common problem? Is it the geometry of the frame? it's a Raleigh Royal, or the size of the frame? I think any bigger would be too big to be honest, but would a 22" frame be better?
