I really like the creativity that some builders put into their rear dropouts/TA.
With that said, I have never once thought that a builder who usesstock dropouts isn't a 'real' builder or isn't on the same level as builders that make their own dropouts.
There are simply too many other parts of the frame that can be unique and customized for me to think the dropouts are a what separates the real from the imposter.
Dropouts are simply one area where a builder can create a signature look. No different from seatstay junctions, lug shaping, etc.
