I'm not sure about this, my friend and I were playing around and she had a track bike (Bianchi Pista) and I have a road conversion (fixed gear road frame, definitely more rake than the Pista). I can easily no handed trackstand my bike, but it takes more effort on hers. The other issue is that her bike doesn't fit me as well, but she found my bike easier to trackstand also.
