Alu road drop outs

I've currently got a Bianch nirone , and i've taken it to my lbs , and they managed to fit the rear wheel and get the chain tight enough for this machine to become fixed , ive been riding it like anyone would do with a bike like this for a couple'a days and the chain is getting loose , its gotten so loose everytime i hit a pothole / immediately skid , sometimes even go onto pavements , the chain would come out . I passed by shop14 and had a chat with ted , it seems drop-outs like mine are unable to be transferrd into the horizontal drop outs . He did mention something about white industrie hubs ? if anyone could give me more info , point me into the right direction id be more then gratefull // also , if i took out a few links from the ss chain untill it was tight enough , would that be a soloution ?

Cheers in advance

White industries make an eccentric rear hub called the "ENO" that allows you to adjust chain tension by rotating the hub body around the axle.

Its a solution to a problem that shouldn't exist in the first place, IMHO, but its quite elegant.

but really expensive. unless you are attached to this frame or it is worth anything, just get a frame with horiz dropouts or track ends.

This frame was a presentfrom a close familly member besides I've already orders thehub for 125quid just waiting on royal fail now

if planning to run fixed you will need a white industries proprietry cog if you got the standard model or a bolt on cog if you got the disc model.

it is possible to put track ends on an aluminium frame, but it will cost you a fair wack and involve a lot of work. the very shot answer is basically no though!

Magic Gears?

read above, the issue is solved...
