The issue I have with the two "fastback" types shown is that the stays are along either side of the binder slot. When tightening the binder bolt the stays will be bent/flexed toward each other. Not what I would call being a slick design, having more stress on the bolt and the stays. The Raleigh's design places the stays against the seat tube below the binder slot. So no stays are harmed when the post is secured in place. Andy
