Just trying to understand this a bit. If you're not looking for a short sprint or short fast use then why choose something that has that geometry? Or low slung track bars?

Why not something more road oriented? You won't need a high BB, real short cranks, fast whippy handling, cramped cockpit, but could appreciate a road geometry even if its "race" oriented road.

I havent compared the geometry charts but thats the first thing in my mind.
