It should be pretty neutral, but it will make the wheelbase longer. Should be fine for a do it all bike.
Thanks. T-town is my home track, but I will probably race the Giordonna 250m track three times before I do the Masters Nationals there. I will also ride/race Pittsburgh 200m when it opens, so I will be hitting some tighter tracks. The Pinarello Xtrack Sprint has 74.5 degree angles, but the cost is 2.5x of the Look. Am I correct in guessing that might be a better choice for the smaller tracks?
