Well, yes, you shouldn't really clamp an aly or crabon performance frame anywhere but the seatpost or seat-tube, and only the later if it has a post in it and it extends to where you are clamping it :)
The optimo frames had a supplement that detailed the fatigue life, if raced, of about two racing seasons.
