Oh yeah, Im pretty sure Shimano's Shadow derailleurs dont have barrel adjusters. The m592 is the Deore with Shadow tech and it doesnt have a barrel adjuster.
So half the price and has a barrel adjuster like you want...
Shimano Deore M591 9 Speed Rear Mech | Chain Reaction Cycles
Ha, moving on from which rear derailleur you will use, I just looked at the Spa frame. Thats a heck of a deal! $400USD?!? Looks like solid geometry, all the right mounting points, and heat treated cromoly. Nothing wrong with that package.
