It's maybe hard to gauge on the pictures but that frame is a gate. Loads of tubes. When I drew the frame on CAD I probably decided it would be a bit mad to extend further?
I used a Columbus carbon fork at some point with that frame (swapping for a carbon fork for some kind of "cross" set-up was a built-in flexibility of the frame, hence the slightly "gappy" steel forks), and used the full length of the steerer...
But yes this stem is taller than my original set-up. Getting older I suppose!

Great guards! Just out of curiosity, why didn't you go for a longer headtube?
