What's the difference between this and a Roadrat?

The forks are on the right way round?

Tell me they don't have those nasty horizontal drop-outs from the Roadrat? Looks nice other than that.

Escapade is for drop bars.
Roadrat for flat bars.

Both have those dropouts that take hub, derellieur, or no gears.

I'm with Yokaiser on this one. I don't understand why they didn't put forward facing dropouts on this. This is the kind of bike that will probably have mudguards on, and possibly a rack, and having track ends just makes it a pain in the ass.

Beyond that, it's a really nice wee frame, but the dropouts are really what puts me off.
