As a general statement, that is true. However, there is a significant variation in both road and track frames, and plenty of overlap. My old custom built steel crit racing frame has tighter geometry, more toe overlap and rides harsher than my Soma Rush steel track frame. You can buy a compromise track frame like the Soma Rush, which combines the best aspects of road and track geometry. I've ridden the Rush 65 miles with only one brief stop w/o discomfort, but could still ride and race it on the track if I wanted to.
