good idea, now all you need is something with a build in allen key to undo your seatpost to get at your emergency 17mm socket!

now that IS a good idea!

I've been sent links on email to this company a few times, saw their closed in drop-outs on their frame when it was just a hole...so no way to adjust chain tension when the chain stretched, I notice they've done what they said they would and go to a slot.....so other than to make it look pretty the closed in drop out doesn't really do much.

Think S&M have done a closed drop out frame, Think it is supposed to be stronger and stop the drop out from flaring.
Good idea with the saet, But dont think I would have enough confidence in tighten up my wheel nuts tight enough without breaking my seat :-\

As Gary says i wouldn't think you could tighten the wheel enough using a seat...  :-\

Surely one tyre tap and the wheel would slip?

Dumbassed kids would cut the post down anyway...  ;D

so drop outs get less and less and less material in them to the point that to stop them flaring you put a bit back in, just in a different place. lol.

Not sure the drops on my dirt bike are going to flare...and they ain't closed in. lol.

it does give a very clean look though, but you HAVE to have a female hub.
