BITD, you could get a bike in 18 sizes.
More accurately, you could buy frames in 18 sizes - but not complete bikes, sold by the bike manufacturer as such. (Except Torpados, briefly.)

The Emonda is sold as a complete bike. Back in the day, the minimum size increments for complete bikes were 1.5 cm (for Cannondale racing bikes, and only in the middle of the size range; 2 cm otherwise) and 2 cm (for a number of higher-end models of various brands). Even then, many companies stuck to 2"/5-mm increments.
