Frame builders have connected seat stays to the side of the seat cluster, to the underside of the binder bolt mount in the seat cluster, to the back of the binder bolt where the seat cluster is, and Hetchins among others have routed the seat stays several inches down the seat tube and extending to connect with the top tube several inches ahead of the seat cluster.
What is the dynamic effect of moving the seat stay connection point up or down the seat tube (other things being equal)?
How far down a seat tube could the seat stay contact point be lowered and still result in an excellent riding bicycle?
