Yeah, dont get a true track bike if you are riding on the road. Get a single speed road bike with more appropriate geometry and gearing.

That being said I have one of the Motobecane frames, fantom cross uno, which has the same geometry as the one you are looking at and I like it fine. in fact all of the new Motobecanes have the same geometry. I use it offroad all day long and its a nice solid frame, fairly comfortable and not too heavy for a cheap steel frame. I'd keep it, just my oppinion.
