the adaptability is interesting but that bundle of cable housing going up and down into the TT is awkward.

I had a team Kelme Look KG 386 which came with Look's adjustable dropouts. The frame was one of the first "aero road" frames, even though it was from 2003.

Anyway, the dropouts were so you could change it to road wheelbase, and TT wheelbase. Botero won the TdF TT on the adjustable dropout frame.

Those dropouts were a PITA full stop. They always squeaked and made noise. The allen bolts had such small head you couldn't torque them down and I could pull the wheel out of alignment when sprinting. I don't know how the pros used them.

Adjustable dropouts is the dumbest idea. I can say from experience... this is not cool. It's another dumb "Ikea" bike.

But it can be converted to a fixie! I am going to venture out and say "this is not cool". It's one of those ideas that looked good on paper (or seemed good during a drug-induced state), but not in real life.
