Scrod,

Would you recommend getting a track bike strictly for road/city use? I've seen a thread or two, but I'm seeking more info. I'll use it for 5-10 mile joy rides and possibly commuting on it 10-20 miles. I'm in L.A. and there may be some slight hills.

I'm currently on a Raleigh One Way (cromo frame) and I'm looking for something a little bit lighter, quicker and faster on the road, but not something where I'll feel every single bump on the road and my back will pay for it later.

Thinking along the lines of a Leader 725/735, FTP, Jamis Sonik type bike, but I want to be informed about which bikes suit which type of riding. Thanks.
