Surprised by the numbers given how aggressive the bikes and their positions look; my current set up is 8cm saddle to bar with 16mm canyon i-lock spacer ..
Having a tape measure to hand I measured floor to top of bar, and floor to top of mid-saddle, removed one figure from the other and got 10cm.
So I'm 1.1cm drop (and about 200 watts) short of Spartacus.
