We might be talking about different things.
It's somewhat like using an I-beam on it's side. A bpm (for instance) has an 80kg load limit. If you mount it on it's side I imagine it would be pointless
This looks good, but falls down almost as badly. 45 degree dropouts on this £200 offering
Flat dropouts, so maybe some doctor bass torque arresters with inbuilt gear hangers could work. It is steel though, so you can fix it other ways. Same bike is 1kg lighter in alloy (16kg)
I was sorely tempted as the poorly angled dropouts mean the axle is at it's toughest bouncing up curbs. This much angle might not actually effect the amount of material present in the vertical plane, but I would have to see it for myself to say that.
