ha, thanks for the mention. I agree they haven't done a great job on the lookbook for people who want it to be an all road bike rather than upright tourer. I like having the tall stack exactly because I don't need any spacers below.
I have about 2mm below my stem just to separate it from the bearing cover. And yes - loads of room for a frame bag. Fairlight have released templates for all their bikes, I had asked them for the drawing for @Tijmen to make my bags (and which I highly recommend).

I'm enjoying your lean into purple too.

Now nervously looking at the look-books, they all have about 4cm steerer on show.
The 54r was too low at the front and this a little high.
Reassuringly, @stelfox build looks to be slammed, so not all Faran need a tower under the stem.
Don't want to hack off all the steerer right away, could a -12 or -17 degree stem can work aesthetically...
