The tight geometry of a track bike is what make it so fast. But when buying a track bike you may want to consider going to a more modern geometry to allow you to ride with thicker or fatter comuter tires. Notice the clearances of my bikes front wheel with the frame and fork would not allow a much thicker tire than these 23mm’s.
And notice in these two pictures of the clearance in the rear triangle certainly doesn’t allow much wiggle room on this 25mm rear tire. for commuting around town I would prefer to ride on a bigger fatter back tire but am limited by the clearance allowed by this geometry. This is a factor I overlooked when purchasing the bicycle but will definately be aware of when purchasing another bike, and would advise consumers of the same. Some bikes are designed with a cut out in the reartriangle to accomidate bigger tires while maintaining a tight geometry and others have compromised the geometry in the rear triangle. And the progression of front forks have evolved to give clearance for bar spins the front wheel and handle bars spinning 360 degrees around.
