it does all depend on the track bike and road bike being compared BUT when i get on a tight track bike and the wheels are tucked under me, i feel like im flying.. kinda cheesy but true.. when i hop back on someones conversion.. the disappointment is immediate...that mushy feeling of a chopper-like fork and wide slack wheelbase... it just feels like the fun has been beat out of the bike.. all thats left is the metal.. thats my take.. but i like tighter frames and smaller bikes...
you can call me sloppy whenever youd like
