It's hard to generalize, but in general bikes with classic track geometries will have significant toe overlap. My old Paramount is a sprint bike with a very short straight top tube, but the same 74 degree head and seat tube angle, so the distance from the bottom bracket to the front wheel is very short. It is also a very small frame with a 49cm c-t seat tube. Finally, the fork legs and head tube are also very short, reducing the clearance even further. In recent years, manufacturers like Bianchi have redesigned their track bikes like the steel Pistas, to make them more street oriented with slacker head angles and more fork rake. You need to look for something like that.
