although GA2G has suggested a fork change the geometry is still bad for road. It is made for quick sprints on 20 metres followed by sitting over the back wheel to keep traction around corner.
I have ridden a few speedway bikes and they are good fun but I wouldn't want to ride 10 miles on one. Admittedly they were all setup as proper speedway bikes, right down to the flat griptaped pedals!
