But most taller frames often use stiffer tubing (less butting or oversized) to compensate for the flex.

As for OP, practice and looking at head tubes.

Is that just a normal dt braze-on mounted on the back of the seattube for fd duty? I may have to find someone to do that to one or more of my frames. All the contortioning of a suicide shifter, but lighter and easier setup.

Actually I've got a sscx frame that I've put a chain tensioner with a rd hanger to make into a 1x. That would be the best way to add a multispeed crank.
