Thanks! I had hoped to be able to get inserts for the frame, but it's problably really hard to put it in the frame

Please keep us updated on how it rides when you get your frame up and ready.
As far as carbon, the only carbon I have is in the forks. I don't think I'll ever get a carbon seatpost because of other posts. I don't do any harsh riding, but I just don't want that on my mind. I'm not that big either, 180lbs but don't want to chance it.
