road geometry vs. a track-like one is designed for riding FG for distance on the road.
My buddy is riding his Classic again this year on our annual FG century ride, a good choice for LD/FG efforts.
Road bikes of any drivetrain flavor ride better on rough road surfaces, are less affected by wind conditions and descend with more confidence than those designed for actual/pseudo use on the velodrome.
As always, suit yourself.
