I am a little confused by this "The geometry is a bit relaxed from a traditional track bike and is meant to be a fixed gear for everyday urban riding without compromising the quickness of a track bike"

The bike has no drilling for brakes. If I ride brakeless I prefer a very low fork rake
and steep angles so that it is easy to get my weight over the front wheel to
skip and skid. More relaxed geometry calls for brakes unless it still
skips and skids like a track bike. Road bike geometry and fork rake
makes skidding harder. I can't tell how this bike rides without
actually riding it but I would want to figure this out before I pulled the trigger
