ss / fixed crossers! question and pics.

those of you who race ss or fixed, i have a question for you. do you have "track ends," older horizontal dropouts, or vertical dropouts with some sort of tensioning unit (either derailleur type, eccentric hub, or bottom bracket)? i'm interested to see what your pro's and con's are about each set-up. problems changing a wheel with track ends? can't quite dial in chain tension with horizontal? i'm building my own custom cross bike in the next few weeks, so i'm trying to take all this stuff into consideration.

i think i might do track ends with a derailleur tab brazed on. or, i could always add that later.

oh yeah, i'll post pics when it's done. post pics of your SS / FX cross machines! (all 3 of you, right? ha.)
