The reason I chose the sliding dropouts is in case I have rear mech issue while touring. Having the ability to continue to ride singlespeed is interesting.
Doesen't make sense. Get Polydrops instead. Maybe even rockers.
FWIW I've had a sliding dropout bike in the past. It generally never moves from the original build especially if you have (space for) other bikes. Its ALWAYS better to have more bikes with specific purpose than one with everything unless as I said space constraint.

Your experience isnt everyones experience. I had SS and knobblies on mine when I got it, then changed to gears and slicks for commuting. Now I'm back on SS and knobblies. Having the option of almost entirely changing a bikes purpose on whim is great fun. 100% reccommend sliders

What sense are you talking about ? ;)Rockers are a good alternative though. I like how they look.
