Without starting an emotional discussion, can someone objectively explain to me why one would want a track geometry for road use, especially longer distance road use? I want to learn as I am in the long haul for deciding on a new fixed gear frame. I don't have an opportunity to ride such a frame as all the built up ones round here are far from my size.
some people just prefer the way they handle and can be perfectly comfortable on such a bike. there's nothing really inappropriate about a track frame on the road. there are some setups that can be impractical for longer rides, like a huge saddle-to-stem drop (esp accompanied by naked deep drop track bars). but whatever.
