The Big Block also has some toe overlap, well at least in the smallest 46cm frame with 32mm tires. And that with short 165mm cranks and size 7.5 feet. The fact is, it's hard to find bikes with track geo that don't have some toe overlap, especially in the smaller frame sizes.

Toe overlap also doesn't matter at all in 99.99999% of real-world riding, but people are still on about it so *shrug*

It matters to me when I'm making a slow tight turn, and my toe contacts the tire if I'm not careful to drop my heel. This happens to me more than 0.00001% of the time and I believe that I live in the real world.
