I asked them to weld it in just for this frame and 2 others. The seatpost is cut down very short and then welded in. I just wanted less parts and a cleaner look and it is lighter. I got an 09 frame because I ride for Scott. Here is a link to my page www.scott-sports.com/gb_en/team_rider/192/ben_walker
the pivotal post is pretty interesting, never saw this on a dirtbike, only at the scott carbon race bikes. is it much lighter? or what was the consideration doing this on a dirtbike? well, i like it anyway...
