Ex Bmx-er here. Track ends are the only 'dropouts' that have ever made sense to me. Sig'd.

As a Steamroller owner who probably paid too much ($450) for his used Surly, I've thought about it a lot and after nearly 1000 miles on it, I can't say I'd do it differently given the chance. Yes, some of Surly's color choices are (very) questionable (brownish purple? wtf?) but the bike feels sturdy and responsive. A lot of people say Surly just makes steel bikes with superb marketing but they all seem to really thoughtfully executed for their intended purposes. I especially like that a couple of their frames ship with modular dropouts, which I think is pretty cool.
