Two of mine are pretty high, 7.0cm (Trek 610) and 6.5 cm (Woodrup Giro). I really don't get why either design needed to do that, neither one was ever marketed as an aggressive racing bike, and they are both sort of flexy. I feel that both of them get a little teetery at low speeds, but that could also be trail.
