Hi,
Does anyone know if you can run gears on this frame? It has horizontal dropouts.
Cheers

you can use shimano Hone and I assume get gear hangers that go on the axle as well as mechs [ generaly low quality]
Someone also does a sliding mech wheel holder thing [ ah chain tug] with a mech hanger

Yes- how good - no idea.
Using one of those chain tugs with a mech hanger - won't that be a bit of a bodge? Probably OK for 5-speed.
I wonder whether the frame is designed with enough clearance for a double chainring up front?
Hmm, I was thinking on getting it but not sure how I would get on with single speed :s

Yes it is a bodge but many MTB fixes are just better/prettier bodges
Probably OK for 5-speed.
Worked ok on 9 speed for me so that makes 10 ok as well then
Chaintug hanger will work fine as long as any offset is ok.
No cable routing
