If that's a show bike, there is so much wrong with it....

Considering it's a custom frame, what you consider 'wrong' has probably been considered 'right' by them. The build might not conform to everyone's aesthetic standards, but it's a really lovely frame.

Custom frame..? Excessive amount of seatpost and use of spacers.. why not build a frame 3cm taller?!

Quicksilver have heard that people are riding 'fixed gears' and they are fucking ON IT.

Directed at TM - meh, you could slam the stem if you wanted. I like the frame, I enjoyed speaking to the builders. They're a small company, so I can understand them not wanting to chop the shit out of an expensive fork if they mean to sell the bike at a later date...

spacers are inviting - 'come, chop me... you know you want to...'
on a more serious note though, more seatpost visually exposes the seat cluster.

seatpost or seattube? I'm talking about the indraripper bike fit not the frame design.

also, MSW but brakeless.

spacers on top of stem for the best of both worlds

seatpost.

Might be 'generic' but is 100% slave.

Why get a custom frame off you're gonna have a spacer stack and a foot of seat post showing?

maybe their reference for how a bike should be set up is this thread

Perhaps it's professional cyclists rather than hobbyists/armchair bike fitters/general allround girlsblouses & randonneurs.

or maybe, just maybe, its a showroom of a new bike, and the owner hasn't even touched it yet?
like it happens with, you know, new custom bikes most of the time?

maybe they did extensive wind tunnel tests and found that this way is most aero

maybe a taller guy tested it in the rain and the seatpost siezed

maybe they were going to run it with a positive rise stem (which as we know is better) but someone told them that looks shit so they went for spacer stack

Perhaps they turned up at the show with a 27.2mm seatpost and that's as far as they can ram it into the 27.0 seat tube without splitting it

New Brothers frame has a promo video: http://www.brothercycles.com/blog/

Hmmm sadly it kind of makes me think "State bicycle"

I quite like it but I still have my heart set on getting a Reynolds Track Frame.
