I have a crit bike, cannondale is a good start since their track frame and current caad9 is virtually the same geometry.

73.5* head angle with 45mm rake is not track geometry.

My Paramount has nearly as aggressive geometry as my IRO, so there are frames out there.

There are chain tugs with integrated deraileur hangers. That+cold setting=gears on a track frame. Done.

Here are examples of a couple of geared bikes that ride more like a track back.

1989 Trek 660 -- This is a "criterium" bike with 73.5/73.5 angles. It rides very much like my 2007 Schwinn madison, which has 74.5/74.5 angles.

1987 Team Fuji TT bike with mongo 56/50 chainrings
