Have you used it on a frame with a straight top tube by any chance? I've only seen photos of it put on MTBs and bikes with low top tubes/tall seat posts. Just wondering how it would fit on my straggler.

I've only used it on my Singular Swift and Salsa Casseroll. Both are huge frames as I'm tall but fairly high top tubes. Plenty of clearance to rear tyre if thats what you mean.

Yeah that's what i mean, i think - basically how much seatpost it needs, from collar to saddle.
I have about 16cm from saddle rails to where the seat stays start. Actually it looks like it'd be fine - especially as there's no brake calliper there for it to potentially interfere with.
