being comfortable with excess spacers is like wearing sweatpants everywhere, yeah it's comfortable, practical, once you do it it's hard to even consider going back.
but you also tell the world "i have given up", "i simply do not have the time to compare 2029023 bike frames with clearance for more than 700x45c", "the world has left me behind and that's ok"
you know when you're out shopping people give you weird looks, parents out riding with their children shuffle along a little quicker murmuring "don't look jessica, i dont want you getting any ideas about spacers". yeah sure it's a more comfortable world, but it's a lonelier one.
You should have just stumped up the cash for that 853 custom fit cx bike and sold your van
