I have a Pipedream Skookum.
It has adjustable dropouts:

I have a Rohloff hub I plan to build up to use with the frame and a Monkeybone that would allow use of the current dropouts but ......
I know that you can get a Rohloff dropout that will fit but I can't find from where. I've previously looked at Paragon but they don't do one that fits 🙁
The dropout design is AFAIK the same as Kona but I've had no joy contacting them - I tried a while ago for a 142mm kit 🙁 🙁
Any thoughts?
Aren't they Paragon Machine Works' dropouts? ( http://www.thehubsa.co.za/forum/topic/147878-titanium-bikes-sa-market/page-4#entry2553549 )

Sadly not.
The frame has two slots rather than one continuous slot that the dropouts above use.
They look the same as the kona dropouts...
Right, not everything that slides is PMV :).
Maybe the ones at framebuilding.com have the correct dimensions (bolt size, slot width, distance between holes)? It's worth asking, I suppose.

Argh, they are all so close, but yet not right. The frame doesn't have a recess on the rear to accept a sliding strip so all of those above wouldn't fit 🙁
So you're looking for a LH OEM dropout? Similar to the ones from Ceeway but without the protrusion for a slotted dropout?
Could always get the Ceeway one and machine off the protrusion, assuming the other dimensions match. If you like, post me up your existing LH dropout and I can see what I can do.
I think it could be the Kona "type CC" dropout; unfortunately no Rohloff version available http://www.hibike.de/shop/product/p1f95cbd7034bc8174856e1ad78d59ea1/KONA-derailleur-hanger.html

The guys on this German forum have a thread dedicated to Kona Unit/Honzo, might be able to offer some suggestions.

I'd stick with the Monkeybone and standard dropouts. Looks neater (and is the zero-effort option)
You should be able to get them from Pipedream - I did for my Sirius.
