I use it for general riding with a good mix of off road (singletrack/fire roads rather than rock gardens!) Clipless are fine for what I do (jumping over banks, off steps, hopping over things etc,.) but wouldn't want to go too mad!
I just wanted a tough frame that is a bit more fun to throw around than the track based frames I was riding before.
Turned out I got what I was after as it is great fun. Good for riding distances in comfort and much better for messing around on during those rides. It never really felt right jumping over things, wheelying off curbs etc,. on a track bike!
