Many of their models with the larger 'gas tank' area have rear facing horizontal dropouts. I've thought of converting my 3 speed coaster to fixed, but I get too much pedal strike already. The bottom bracket is way low.

It is sort of like this one. You can almost see the drop outs if you squint just right.
