Can anyone tell me about vertical rear dropouts.  I am looking in
to buying a new bike and I like the idea of the ease of removing
the rear wheel from vertical dropouts. My questions: Are they as
strong as standard dropouts? Will the wheel fit correctly?  What
will I be losing by not being able to adjust the forward-rearward
position of the of the wheel?  What bikes (brands, models) come
with vertical dropouts as standard? On what bikes would they be
an "option" or must I go to a custom built bike?

If anyone can help, please wite to me or post. I'll post a
summary.
