So, I had this idea of a really clean and probably more hidden type of seat clamp
So the concept is instead of an INTERNAL clamp like the old Premium Death Trap and the Total Hangover where the bolt tightens into the top tube/seat post area, or the spy style clamp like on the Guerra Frames and some Amber completes/frames. Or even an INTEGRATED clamp, you can leave a traditional slot for a separate clamp, but with the same style of gusset AS THE Guerra Frames, you incorporate a 6mm set screw into the gusset.
1. Widen out the seat stay junction at the seat tube and add a SOLID gusset with the proper sized threaded hole in between both the L & R seat stay's also piercing the seat tube to allow a set screw to come into contact with the seat post.
2. Take the seat post and drill into the material just enough to make a dimple in the post
3. Using a 6MM allen key, tighten the set screw into the post through the frame. (MAKE SURE THE SCREW IS GREASED BEFORE INSTALL)

I am not confident this idea would go too far but, honestly, if you stripped out the set screw, lost the set screw, or just do not like the thought of it, you can always throw your post in and use a regular clamp, BUT if you DO like the idea but want to be extra secure, you can just thread tap the post too.
So the main point is
-Clean design
-You get an extra gusset either way
-easy to work on, just thread in and go, no real stress put into the frame because the screw is threaded into/onto the post.
Welp, broke past 1000... yeeeee
