>>1394772Track oriented road bike frames have a shorter wheelbase and steeper steering tube and fork, they make for shorter bikes. They have a nippy feel, react and turn fast and aggressive. also old lugged steel frames are sturdy and long lasting. A track frame can be easily modded into a city racer and are favourite with many couriers as they are excellent at bustling trough traffic. Downsides are that you are stuck with few options regarding gearing, mostly fixed, single speed or certain miltispeed hub gears
Pic related is a Gorilla Hattara frame (probably made by Tommasini Italy), classic track geometry made for bicycle couriers as main customers.
true road bikes on the other hand have more a cruiser like feel and are slower on the turn.
