Hey Max, I'm in Atlanta, so likely would be tough to get up your way. My saddle height is 73-74cm, so a bit lower. I've got a 53cm Atlantis, and have been looking at the 54cm Sam, but if the Charlie could get me up another size with the swooping top tube it might be nice. - Drew

Yes, this is correct. Road Shimano/SRAM are 8-9-10, and 11 is a newer standard that should ship with a spacer to handle 8-9-10. That's what happened with my Velocity wheel that I just bought. I was on 9 speed, so I kept the spacer and moved my cassette from my (rim failed) older hub. Then,
