like a hole for the cable to pass through?

basically looking for air holes or weight reduction holes in the seat tube (of any type of bike).
It seems that a certain company wants to patent the hole in the seat tube idea .... which i personally think could be a bad thing
as it could open up the door to allot of silly patents afterwards.

so i am trying to find all the bikes made with holes in the seattube.

YGT:
didnt thruster also put holes arround the clamp area of the set post tube?

oberonspacefruit:
not on any i have seen......

lazychubs:
my 88 master has a hole in the bottom for the cable to run thru

That'd be a certain new flatland prototype frame, then.
As far as holed tubes, I do remember a pic of a totally drilled-out bike in BMX Action Bike waaaay back in the mid-ish 80s. Everything on the bike was punctured to save weight, even the brake levers.
Might be tough to find, perhaps Bill can leaf through his collection. I reckon it was within a year either way of his 'Stupple Stumbles' pic.
Holes are holes to me. Could be there's a big difference legally between CNC'd and drilled ones, though.
Phil Dolan used to drill through his BB shell, maybe at some time he's worked on a prototype frame with some holes incorporated into the design. Maybe Carlo can help, I think Phil's last pro frame was the Dolomite.
