Certainly an interesting looking bike the dropouts look a bit unusual. I like how the rear brake is mounted in a reversed style.

The "reversed" rear brake mounting on that bike is just a personal "mod" done by the previous owner. I don't think Alan ever meant it to be like that. The brake caliper should mount conventionally from the back. You can keep it that way if you want, but make sure everything works on it
