That feature isn't on the new Crockett, is it?

Even so, if you are looking to run fixed or singlespeed then adjustable drop outs remain the best option.
I don’t think I’d make a sweeping generalisation like that about it. On a bike that’s designed to take mudguards then speccing vertical dropouts and an ebb makes a lot of sense.
I built a frame designed to be used with a coaster brake,so rear wheel is in and out for repacking and servicing a lot and the ebb means I don’t have to worry about chain tension every time and meant I could do a fixed anchor point for the reaction arm rather than a slotted one or a band on one which I felt was the best design option.
There are also issues mating disc brakes to track ends which an ebb would eliminate.

You mean like this Bombtrack with adjustable drop out and thru axle?

@youramericanlover should just get a Trek Crockett with stranglehold dropouts and be done with it.
