Depending on your preference of how you want the bike to handle, one or combination of the three frame solutions can be addressed.
But often times, shorter crankarms, moving your cleat position on your shoes can easily solve the top overlap problem, instead of a new frame.
I have a Casati Ellisse that has a tiny bit of toe over lap. It is Columbus EL-OS tubing . I tried to put my cleat position as far as it will go , still bumps a bit, My old Rossin Record from the 1980s has no toe over lap cleared by about 1/2 inch. so not used to the over lap. Just wondering if all the rave about titanium would make a better ride and acceleration on the the bike
