You can replace it with a small spacer or even a 0mm rise one if you wanted but unless your frame is too big for you it will make the drop unbearable. I'm pretty sure the geometry of the Langster is worked out including the 20mm conical headset spacer, the purpose of it is the reduce the head tube length thus making the frame stiffer. I have mine slammed to the spacer and it is just right with some compact drops, definitely wouldn't want to go any lower...
