Thanks, I really like the idea behind this frame, except those dropouts don't make sense to me. Why can't Surly make normal thru-axle dropouts? I really do not see what advantage these dropouts have. Anyway, thanks for the video, I am looking forward to that other bike you have coming (Stooges?? ) Will be better I think. Cheers.
I guess the advantage is that it provides a way to tension the chain for singlespeed or hub gear builds (e.g. Rohloff). They could have use sliding dropouts for that but I guess manufacturing would have been more expensive.

a pity Surly's framesets are so expensive here in EU - I was looking for Troll or Ogre for years now ;)
