You guys are right, there's nothing wrong with toe overlap, that's if you are not using a track frame for city riding or bike polo..
I found that it is still possible to get a fairly compact track frame geometry while avoiding toe overlap, so I kept that in mind when designing our frames since most people don't necessarily use track frames on tracks only.
As for the Unipack/Create bikes, they are actually made in India which tends to be a lot cheaper than Taiwan (at least that's what I found when looking for suppliers) and most of the times don't even pass BS safety standards. You guys probably are aware that Claud Butler, Giant, along with many others get everything done in Taiwan these days (even some of the Bianchi models.. what happened to my Italian heritage?!?!) and I can ensure you that I certainly wish that I'd be making a tidy £100 profit on each frames/forks.
Cheers,
