Surly Steamroller owners...

he means you can get the same result by flipping the stem so its +6 degrees and dropping a couple of spacers out, and cutting more steerer off. merely asthetics so your choice if you want it to look neater.

I don't want to cut more steerer off or have less spacers or look neater, I have the stem this way because, as I said "after much thought", it works best and kind of future proofs me for having enough steerer in the future, my friend cut his lower and regretted it.
This is a working bike not porn.
And I wasn't unsure about the concept, just Ed's grammar... it's common no?
