road bike geometry is generally considered more comfortable for road riding than track geometry, mainly because it's designed to be. the fact it's a road frame isn't why it should be built properly, it's because it's a hand-built frame built by one of the most respected framebuilders in the country/world.
there's also the problem that anyone who's been into cycling for over 20 minutes will take one look at you riding fixed on a classic frame like that and think "what a tool". also the fact that you spent £225 on a frame, having never built a bike before may also make people think "what a rich tool".
tl;dr: BUILT NICELY WITH GEARS PLEASE
