Despite being listed in the U.S. catalog with the “Street’ models, the Fifty-Fifty seems to share frame geometry with the “Bad Boy”. But, as you’ve noted, it does share many features with the European Nexus hub models. I’m pretty sure that I read somewhere that it has the eccentric BB vs horizontal dropouts though it’s not clear in the catalog.
