[Closed] Dropper post with a layback?

I have a bike I want to put a dropper post on but the top tube is quite short so can't really run an inline post.

I'm already running as long a stem as possible so could do with some sort of lay back post.

I'm sure I saw someone post information on a KS post that has a layback but I can't find the original thread.

Can anyone recommend a post that has a layback?

KS Dropzone has what looks like about 20mm of layback.

All our Command posts are laid back and reliable.

Sounds like you just need a next size up frame.

Thanks for the recommendations guys.

I've got a reverb on my main bike, this is for a cheap 2nd bike, yes the frame is a tad too short in the top tune. Unfortunately this is the largest size they make.

I'm running as long a stem as I dare without affecting the handling.

I've been spoilt with having a dropper on my main bike that I'm missing not having a dropper on my other bike when I use it so looking for a cheaper way than a reverb hopefully plus get some layback to try and stretch the reach out a little.
