How about the Salsa Casseroll Single? This bike's frame is designed without limitations. I an done with bikes that don't let me reconfigure.
You want to have a fixed/free hub? Sure, add a fixed cog.
You want a derailer and gears? Put them on the derailer hanger and use the cable braze-ons.
You want a hub gear? No problem: 130mm rear spacing.
Fat tires and fenders? Up to 37mm, or 32mm with fenders.
Did I mention that the frame is steel, and they have begun shipping it with a chainguard?

this bike is without braze-ons and derailleur hangers because it's meant to do what it's built to do. and the people buying it use it the way it's built.
idiots like you who buy a bike without knowing what they want are the ones who need excess things like cable stops on a fixie frame and rack mounts on a bike that will never have a rack haha
this bike doesn't have rack brazeons or dropout eyelets because it's not that type of bicycle. it does have a flip flop hub.
and people who really want a specific product will usually build it up from a frame themselves. like me. I've built all 14 of the bikes I currently own and the other thousand working in the shop. and I bought them all because they were what I want
steel is a super positive yes. but aluminum is what they designed this one to have and for the look and ride-ability that it gives this it's spot on PERFECT.
so go ride your salsa you only-owned-one-bike-in-my-life idiot and stop telling people they should buy your one piece of equipment because you have no experience on anything else.
