Any lower, and you have to purchase a long-cage derailleur to accommodate a 32 cog. Not worth it in my opinion.
Sounds good, and I was looking at some of the other bikes and it seems that the combination is more common than I thought.
And so though I think about moving to Shimano they do make this.

But the less I spend on that, the more I can save for wheels then.
