-17 is the correct angle if the top tube of the frame is horizontal. Stem logo may end up being upside down depending on manufacture but -17 road stems are expected to be run as such. I'd acetone the logos anyway...
Condor sell the shims for making a 1 1/8th stem work on a 1" steerer - the stack of spacers then go over this...

A quick query from an about to build an MGOOF person who is currently an MTBer.... (actually I won't be building it at all it will be given to a man who knows what to do).
I have a Columbus Minimal 1 inch steerer fork, looking at getting a -17 degrees stem and bar combo, wanting the horizontal stem aesthetic and from what I read here -17 is the correct angle? And maybe this a dumb question but doesn't that mean in some cases that the stem logo may be upside down?
I am looking at Zipp/ Deda stems, can someone tell me what 'spacer' I should be looking at to allow the 1+1/8th stem to clamp to the fork, and also what spacers to use to take up any vertical distance between headset and clamp?
