Classic SS / fixed frames have horizontal dropouts facing backwards; this has semi horizontal facing forwards.
With just one gear your often going to put a lot of torque through + with braking etc that wheel has the potential to move in the dropouts. On rear facing it can kick to one side but is ultimately caught; with this frame the wheel could come flying out..

Daft way of saying front facing dropouts IIRC. The fear being that you’ll skid the wheel completely out of the dropouts, although I’ve never actually heard of anyone doing it.

Suicide dropouts?
