Which 12×142 fixed hub were you thinking of using?
I was thinking of buying the pre-built bike and just swapping the freewheel for a fixed sprocket.
But it's not threaded is it.
I got carried away seeing the likes of this and Salsa's Alternator dropouts and read "singlespeed" as "fixed/free".
I should probably
go back to where I started this morning, with the Spa Audax Mono and just bang a disc fork injust buy a Genesis Flyer.

I'm betting on user error. The massively over-complicated proprietary dropouts seem to have more than enough hardware to retain axle location. The tugs are not the position retaining device, they are just the position setting device. The combination of the M12 through-axle and the M5 slider locking screws should be more than adequate when tightened to the correct torque
Which 12×142 fixed hub were you thinking of using? I'm only aware of Paul, I'd want to check before buying anything that the Paul endcaps will actually drop in to the AllCity dropouts
