I'm looking to purchase a used frame that I'd like to use as a fixed gear. It has semi-vertical dropouts. Would this provide enough room for me to move the axle back and tension the chain?

thanks

It works fine for me. I have two bikes with semi-vert dropouts and no problems getting chain tension on either.
