Aluminum sleeve on carbon seat tube
Hello,
I've been reading the forum for some time, but this is my first message. I have a technical question about carbon road frames. Does anybody know which ones, if any, DO NOT have an aluminum sleeve inside the seat tube? No sleeve at all or made from another material. Is the seatpost diameter an indicator of this?
Thanks.

You want us to list every single carbon frame out there, and whether or not it has a sleeve? Seriously?

+1 for the operators comment. Asking for a list is ridiculous.
If it's important to you check specifically for a frame your considering buying, either by eyeballing if buying in the flesh, ir asking the seller the question straight out if by mail.
In any case, what difference does it make?
