Hi everyone, I've a doubt, I'm searching for a frame, because the bike I was going to buy was sold 
, and I need a frame that can perform well on TT and Track events(if it's possible of course), so I think the frame on the second picture can work as well on the TT and Track, what do you think? It's possible? There's a huge difference between them?

Its likely that the bottom bracket on the tt frame is too low. Compare the photos and the angle of the chain stays. Then check the geometry and the rules of the track u want to ride. Might be ok on sub 30degree tarmac.
The first photo- planet x track frame will do both - its a great track frame and will do TTs as a fixedjc0 -
Sadly the velo in which I train has more than 45° of banking, it's a "bit" steep hahahahahahaha, do you know any kind of Track frame which has the option to mount a derailleur?0

kinesis do a decade convert 2 which has swappable dropouts.
The only frame I know of which is aero and compatible for both road and track is the Isaac (can't remember the name)
they're very hard to find though.
You can use the planet x stealth for pursuits and individual events on track but the bottom bracket is too low and you'll need different spaced wheels.
Your best bet is to get the planet x track frame and buy yourself a cheaper road frame for tts such as a ribble.0 -
Why not TT on a fixed gear? It'll introduce you to a whole new world of suffering - not having a big enough gear for downwind / downhills and yet being over-geared for uphill into the wind - lovely!Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..0
