A mark v is more of a commuter type with a laid back relaxed geo while a true track geo frame will be tighter since you don't need to have the motion so much on the track but you'll get use to it.

I went from a steamroller which had a relaxed geo to a kilo tt
after I wrecked and boy was the toe overlapping scary but I've gotten use to it and can go thru traffic no problem.
