Recommendations on horizontal dropout SS frame that is quite slack

[Moggio]

Been asked to build a bike for a mate who is a technical descending type who rides SS.

So looking for a hardtail either Al or Steel, but must be reasonably light, or as light as practical.

Slackish geometry, 68 deg or so plus or minus. (Looking at a 130 to 140mm fork I would imagine as well which affect angle.)

I know there are some good frames like the OnOne456 but these are all vertical dropouts. If possible I am interested in a more aggressive single speed horizontal dropout type frame. Do they exist?

So any recommendations?

Well no info, but its ok my mate has decided on something else now, so its all good.

What is the appeal of a horizontal ss?
My Nimble 9 (and many other hard tails) has plenty on chain stay adjustment, and you don't have to re-adjust the chain tension and disk brake tabs every time you undo your wheel.

Because KISS.

Simple, proven, clean design that works. And doesnt creak.

Most importantly, doesnt creak.

Got a frame possibly of interest if he becomes un-sorted. Ventana El Toro. Bought on a whim for commuter, but changed jobs and I just don't ride it out:

And quite likely, just won't sell it.......

You know me well, but it's completely superfluous now. Might just sell the parts and keep the frame...which I also don't need....but have always wanted a ventana.

Oh, and when I said horizontal dropouts, I obviously meant vertical dropouts with eccentric bottom bracket.
