I guess so many frames have vertically mounted shocks, or seat tube mounted linkages, that would interfere with a bottle anyway it probably isn't a priority.
I've been thinking a lot about how small of a frame could fit two water bottles on the downtube if the positioning was really optimized. Maybe using side loading cages, or maybe even going Fidlock specific. I'm working on a piece on it using Wolf Tooth B-Rad mounts that I hope will be interesting.
For example, I think with my frame even if I had a vertically mounted shock/walking beam setup I could bump the bottles forward enough to clear an inline shock (if not a piggyback) and this is an M/L.
I'm using a couple of FS bikes for my piece to better illustrate the idea.
