Hard to do from photos, but performance road bike tend to have around 55-57mm of trail, a similar Eddy Merckx (Corsa) have a fork rake of 43mm.
Using the same 73 degree head angle;
Track bike have less rake (30mm) so usually have a trail around 60-65mm*.
Road bike have a bit more rake (let says 42mm), so a trail around 55-57mm.
Rando bike have a lots more (70mm), trail around 30-40mm.
*ever wonder why people put their tyres at a higher pressure on track bike? now you do.
