I've been riding horizontal dropouts on my fixed gear for awhile. I stand behind the notion that they're just as convenient, if not more than track dropouts. I guess the one problem I can think of is the lack of good chain tensioner for horizontal drops, but at the same time, I hardly ever see people using tensioners on a track frame... But if you need that label of having a "track bike," then make the purchase.
