Bike is an MBK Leader. That's all I know about the bike.
Can I just use a seatclamp to clamp the seatpost? What is up with that threaded hole at the back end of the top tube? Please help me figure this out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. 🙏

Well it looks like someone notched it for a traditional seat post clamp, so you could measure for that try it out. The cut looks like crap, idk if this is worth it.
Idk if the bolt really worked and if it did, it probably needed a special seat post to prevent slippage. Even if you did that, if be worried that the bolt would shear. To find that, measure the hole and try metric pitch threads first. I think you can get a kit of bolts. I have not had the best luck with my thread gauge but that’s probably a user skill error.
This frame was always intended to have an external seat clamp collar. The screw hole in the back is not a seat clamp.
That slot was hacked in the frame after the fact. I did a quick Google search and none of the bikes with this frame show an external clamp. I suspect that threaded hole has something to do with an internal post clamp.
