It has horizontal drouputs with a mech hanger, but according to my mate it is very finicky to setup with gears and rear brake caliper compared to a vertical dropout.
Surely if you set it up with the idea that it's working as a normal dropout, you'd never need to slide the dropout/caliper around. Loctite it properly and it'd never move. I can see it'd require some work setting it up as a SS/fixed obviously.

I think it is very nice. Much lighter than expected for a steel frameset in that price range.
I think the geo is meant to be trackbike-like, hence the steepness. It means it has a high bottom bracket, which is great for off tarmac pursuits, but you might experience toe overlap.
Very short wheelbase so highly #flickable, #nippy or whatever you want to call it.

You could consider the 8-bar Mitte Steel which has sliding dropouts and a shallower head angle instead.
