many track bikes have shorter top tubes than road based frames.
as the cinelli vigorelli does.
you also need to think about the head tube, as track racers who chose a size down generally have to use a long stem, flipped up to gain the stack height they miss, fine on the track maybe, but have you ever steered a bike with a 130mm+ stem flipped to +10degrees? it feels like shit
