Nahh...I have avoided it for so long that I always forget that it's been cleaned up this year.

It's really an odd duck. The P2 w/o the raised race seat is like $55-$60. I guess nobody likes the ugly duckling.

Yes, track ends are rear-entry horizontal dropouts. You probably won't seek out a different frame, so i'd say see how things go with a real cog/ring. If you're still dropping the chain, try to ascertain where you're dropping it. If you're dropping from the front, you'll want a guard plus something on the inner position. I suspect that the sandwich technique you used, with the 2 extra de-toothed cogs in the back to keep the chain off, will do wonders once you get a nice rear cog.

Are you using a ramped and pinned chainring? That may be the issue too... Did you get that fork yet? I ordered one, just because its so odd looking.
