No photos showing for me.
You can make a SS/Fixed out of a frame without horizontal dropouts but it's always a compromise and an inelegant solution.

Hi, Completely new to the forum. After having built my first brand new bike over lockdown I've caught the bug but also don't want to commute on my nice bike. I have my dad's old Peugeot Comete that I used to ride to university wrecking it in the process. it doesn't have horizontal dropouts does this make it a no go for a fixed conversion? (whole bike photo is mine, the other photo is one showing the dropout more clearly).
