So how straight are steel track frames supposed to be?

Just got one, but I notice the rear isn't exactly straight.

If I put the rear wheel on and push it all the way into the dropout, it doesn't sit perfectly straight and tilts to the side. The tire rubs on the chainstay a little near the bottom bracket.

Of course, I can make the wheel straight by adjusting it in the dropout, but shouldn't the wheel sit straight while just resting farthest inside the dropouts regardless?

I'm a stickler for good craftsmanship, but am I being OCD here?


Thanks
