I know it is meant for street use, but I really don't see much of a difference than your regular road bike. I just notice a higher bb.

Kindof........ not really. It's relatively aggressive, but it's more of a road bike with aggro geo.

This.

I own one myself, and you can see from my snap-shots it's not nearly as tight as most track frames. Oh well, I ride on the road, road geo is guud.
