Depends on what you call a daily rider. I live in a small town so my average trip is no more than 2 miles, but I've ridden it in alley cats anywhere from 15-25 miles. If you're out of the saddle fairly often, it is a really whippy, fun ride. If you're going in a straight line for many miles at a time as you would with any longer rides outside of town, it'd be hellaciously unfun. Thus, there are absolutely no practical benefits other than image, as you could get the same handling characteristics from a track bike with steep geometry. The good thing about funny frames is that they can be had for a ton less than your average lustworthy track frame, simply because people don't know what to look for on eBay or they're afraid to commit to such a ridiculous bike. I've given thought to putting a Nitto Technomic stem and some moustache bars on it just for ****s...and to get a Technomic before they're unobtanium (they've been discontinued I think).
