A bit of rubbing, only because the mudguards are cheap plastic rubbish and the front one flexes. No issues with toe overlap.

Thanks, it's a fun ride. It's not the lightest bike out there but not too heavy I guess. I don't know about recommendation, why not. This is a working mishmash of a setup for me and my needs.
