Frames w seat post cut out?
I know leader has frames with the seat post cut out. Are there any other brands out there with this? Thanks https://www.leaderbikeusa.com/wp-cont...eritage-lo.jpg

what you should be asking is: what are the frames with seatpost cutout done properly that doesn't look jackass
Basically any top of the line track carbon frame
Al (most mid-level true track frames):
Bianchi Super Pista
Cervelo T1
Affinity Kissena
Specialized 2013 Langster PRO
Giant Omnium
Fuji Track Pro
Felt TK2/TK1
what else?

They all look jackass when the wheel is set toward the back of the dropout leaving a huge abyss between the seat tube and tire. If you can't get the wheel to fit inside the cutout, either because of wrong gear ratio, too long chain, or poor frame design, it defeats the purpose of the cutout.

After much thought and research I am going to go with a more conventional frame. Thank you guys.
