I really, really wouldnt bother with an alu track frame on teh road unless you're loaded. stiff as fuck, not very useful other than as an actual track bike or a bicycle-shaped toy, no brake holes so no attaching brakes for freewheel use, and theres a risk of crackage after a few years as its built for smooth surfaces not rough as fuck brummie potholed streets.
