Yikes - the slackest seat tube in the world? ….

The Gate and the others are all fascinating bikes I would love to own.. but I would be hard pressed to describe any as beautiful

A curved seat tube is a much more elegant solution. I really love Denti's Mirage frames like this one;

Just lovely. They have some striking paintwork too.
