What makes you say that this frame is impractical? I has typical track geometry, not unlike the Rush. It also costed me significantly less than the "Elite lightest Frameset" you linked to in addition to having replaceable dropout inserts.
I was also considering the lowest end aluminum Dolan for my track racing bike. However the cost was prohibitive.
