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.

I've read your hilarious thread and watched the awesome video #discbrakesaredead #buildingbikearoundbrakes
What sense are you talking about ? ;)

Rockers are a good alternative though. I like how they look.
