^ that's very common on smaller sized frames, it's just the geometry of the bike. I've got toe overlap on all but one of my road bikes. Just becareful when you're riding low speeds and doing a u-turn, that's pretty much the only time you have to worry about it. You will never need to turn that much when you're flying, and most road biking is straight down the road.
You could try shorter crank arms, but of course, depends if that is your 'fit', and where your cleat/pedal is located.
It's even worse if you add fenders, or ride toe cages on the pedals. Sometimes I think the smaller bikes should have went with 650 wheels to help alleviate this problem.
Ride safely!
