Meh. Toe overlap is no big deal for some people, and a very big deal for others. I am in the former camp. The worst toe overlap I have encountered is on my Look 496 TT bike, but then, it is designed to work best at speeds over 40 kph. An odd combination, a bike designed to be stable at high speed, yet the front wheel is very close to your feet. Only time I had a problem was during an out and back time trial where I had to make a tight 180 degree turn. Next, my Look 481SL has some overlap despite having a relatively shallow 72 degree head angle, equally odd. I make shoe contact from time to time, but I can live with it given the otherwise perfect handing
