Unfortunately, as a result of 'being an adult' with 'responsibilities and obligations', I wasn't able to get as much done on this over this weekend as I'd have liked. I did indeed cut the steerer, but only enough to fit every spare 1 1/8 inch spacer I own - by my math, I think the bars should be high enough with this setup, but every Neutrino on the internet seems to have about a foot of spacers beneath the stem, which has me a bit spooked.
Speaking of the stem, I am quite pleased about the way it has worked out. Every other one of my bikes has a -17 degree stem due to vanity, which sadly is not a possibility with this frame. In my view, the only other acceptable option is the stem being parallel to the top tube, which I have achieved here by using Photoshop to inspect photos of other size small Neutrinos and thereby estimate the angle of the top tube. There are not very many -4 degree stems on the market, but the Zipp SL-OS is one, if you use it on a 1 1/8 inch steerer with the ±2 degree shim that used to be included with it.
