The geometry of that bike isn't very detailed on that site, but I think that bike will be good for commuting. It is more of a commuter bike that looks/feels like a track bike rather than a track bike you can ride on the road.

Personally, I find a bike like that a lot of fun for commutes of less than 10 miles. For rides much longer than that, road geometry is useful. FYI - that bike wouldn't be as awkward to ride on the street as some of the stiff dedicated track machines in the $1000 - $3000 price range.
