Why not!?
Horizontal (more or less) DO's. Just create a perfect chain-line — maybe not so easy, but nothing to stop a committed builder. What else do you need? Maybe I am missing something!?
Oh ... yes, I
do want a frame with "track ends". So many projects; so little time and ... er ... money. My 70's Simplon road racer as SS works OK. And I am even using a Campagnolo skewer on the ass end. Can't move it standing and grunting! Would anything change if I went full fixed gear. I don't think so. I've ridden a frame similar to mine as 'fixed'. Could not find an issue.
I am sure you will have an explanation — possibly one that I cannot challenge! Oh well, live and learn. Please teach me
