The horizontal track end plus derailer hanger gives almost the same options. There are people who don't like this setup because of the slight hassle of removing the rear wheel. But once you figure that out, it isn't much more effort compared to vertical dropouts.
Rich, Ben: What frame sizes would you be interested in? The original Swift design is 55cm top tube. I added an inch to 575mm, but other custom lengths are no problem. 2 other lengths are visible on the photo as well, 59cm and 55cm (the left-most 2 frames).
There are 2 fork styles as well, one like mine, and another which will take big apples in 406mm with a unicrown style. I hope to have pics in the next couple of days.
