I've ordered a pack of 1in x 1cm spacers and I'm going to leave myself 2cm wiggle room on the first cut and give it a couple of weeks each at +2cm, +1 cm then slammed as i don't want to rush chopping the steerer right down. I'd rather ride around with a chimney on top for a few weeks than risk going too low and regretting it. Just playing around with hood position and I'll start with the stem spacers when they arrive in a few days. The levers look high but feel comfortable but maybe that's because the bars are lower than I'm used to.

Losing the sim works was the right choice. It’s a difficult balance getting modern lightweight components to work on classic steel frames .. especially chromed & lugged ones. But don’t cut the steerer too short in search of a slammed look and ruin your back. I think 0 degree stems can look OK on road bikes with level top tubes ..
