Alignment question
A while back I was reading about a guy that had built a frame for himself that had toe overlap with is right foot forward but not with his left foot forward. It got me thinking why this would happen. I'm new to this, but would I be correct in thinking that the HT is kicked out a degree or two at the bottom of the HT?
Thanks in advance.

I would put my money on the left shoe cleat being further forward than the other, nothing to do with the frame/ fork.

Agreed that there are a few non frame issues that could explain this. But there're frame reasons too. Wish we knew what was the case.
Different length crank arms, toeclip/cleat length/position differences,
Rather large miss alignment of BB shell, fork splayed to one side, head tube/seat tube not parallel.
