Steering will be damn tricky with the bar that high too…..and hard to weight the front.

Hmm maybe – i used to, and still do, work at a bike shop, as a mechanic and sales person, and my boss who is a gun mechanic (he knows how to build shimano shifters – a task that is meant to be impossible) said you shouldn’t have any more spacers than the width of the steerer tube – and ive read this on a lot of forums too.

Hot bike though!

I don’t know Saad. Yes it’s damn ugly but I doubt it’ll do any damage. It came stock like this too and Ash (head mechanic of MC Cyclery) says it’s all good so I’ve got to trust the guy (he’s the man!).

Justin, waaaay too many spacers, your at risk of damaging the steerer tube esp as its carbon – plus your just adding unnecessary flex.

I know its looks not as nice, but get a stem with a bit more of a rise, and lower it a bit.
