I feel a little silly now. Oh well, thanks.

Well, yes, I'm currently riding a road conversion. I'd like to be able to run some fatter tires this winter though and they just aren't gonna fit. I'd love to have the $ to spring for a real touring frame, but alas. The Rob Roy seems like a cheap and workable alternative. Especially now that I've been enlightened on the fender subject.

I suppose you'd prefer 'track ends'? I guess 'dropout' is a bit inaccurate. Nonetheless, it's become fairly common parlance, no?
Anyway, thanks guys. Worries alleviated.
