I do some track but mostly urban riding(no tricks or jumps or anything like that) just want fast agressive, the pista wont have problems with some street bumps or anything seeing how its aluminum frame?
Well, I use my Concept no brakes and 99% on the track. When I ride road its smooth pavement, no potholes, curb jumps etc. I don't think rough pavement is a problem, but if you hit something the frame could be damaged. The tubing is very thin, and dents easily, and you've got a carbon fork with an aluminum steerer. Compared to a CroMo frame it's pretty delicate. Yes, I'd expect it to be a lot more lively and quick steering than a Roll or Kilo TT, and the higher BB will help avoid pedal strike.
