As a newbie, the term "all round track frame" doesn't make much sense to me. Because track cyclists cycle round and round perhaps?
I'd say so, but then i bought one so I would.
I think all round track frame refers to its suitability for road use (as well as track use).
The geometry is somewhere between road and track (ambiguous statment I know, but you get the idea). This means the seat tube is less steep than a typical track frame, leading to a relatively longer top tube, and the steering is more relaxed due to slightly slacker headtube angle and more rake on fork.
The fork is drilled and has oval cross section tubing to better resist front caliper braking forces (ie. its more of a road fork).
The BB height is greater than a standard road frame.
I've never ridden on the track so I cant comment on track suitability, but it works great as a road fixed IMHO.
