Is This a Horizontal Dropout?
Would this frame make a good one for a fixed gear? Do those qualify as horizontal dropouts - I can tell they're not vertical, but are they "horizontal enough?"

it looks like a gaspipe frame (heavy and dead feeling) with stamped dropouts.
you might be better off spending a bit more for a nicer frame, but yeah, those dropouts will work. |
thanks for the response. I'm not in love with the frame and would be inclined to agree with you, but now I know that the dropouts don't have to be completely horizontal in order to qualify. Thanks.

I'm with dolface. Keep looking, that is not a good frame. I had one similar to it, and it was really chintsy

I bet you could talk them down to $50 which wouldn't be bad for a beater in my opinion; but another issue is the wheels, which are likely to be 27" - which makes brakes and new tires messy and a more pricey ordeal than this frame might warrant.

Those are semi-horizontal dropouts.
