oh also tt/trials bikes handle like **** unlike mass-start and sprint track frames so you would probably not get the characteristics you like from your track bike even though it has a rediculously steep seat tube. Unlike trackbikes they are not designed to be stiff since you aren't sprinting our doing much out of the saddle climbing like you would on a road frame. You could also forget about putting drops on it and so would be basically limited to bull/aero bars. Finally you would not be welcome on most group rides.

TT/pursuit geometry is pretty specific for doing tts and pursuits whether on the track or the road. If thats what you want to do go for it. If you want a no longer uci legal frame that looks crazy go for it. If you want something stiff, responsive, with a high bottom bracket(yes that matters in a road bike too) a tt frame is particularly illsuited for you.
