Yes. Stem stack heights are usually 40mm (Thomson x2 is 35mm iirc, Ragley stubbing stem is 30mm).
I had the same problem with a Dynatech frame with a 170mm headtube. I solved it by [muffled static +++ Paul Motolites +++ 700c fork +++ NO CARRIER

But surely the average fork supplied with this frame would have been a Manitou or RockShox or similar, with ~200mm of steerer? The headset supplied with the frame was an old Ritchey Logic, which has a greater stack height than the Tange. It's definitely been ridden and was originally setup with the Manitou forks in the top image...

Cheers, I think I'm going with the Tange.
I've just realised something (these things never go smoothly). The Marin has a very long head tube at 180mm. I've received the Kona fork today, which has 220mm of steerer (which would usually be considered pretty generous) however this means 40mm total free space for the headset and stem. The Tange has a stack height of ~26mm... am I in trouble here?
