That's actually really sweet! I have Strands & i know you can't cut the steerer tube down very much but you should chop it down as much as you can & get a headset with a higher stack height so it doesn't look so high & full of spacers. That's the only thing i don't really like about your bike. The old Profiles are badass, Inbound laced Front Hub is a sweet touch too! The Frame colour is seriously nice too.

thanks man. but yea i really want to do that. get a better top load(profile push, cult salvation) and a better headset cap(prob cult or fiend) and ill be straight for now. but im broke lol. may i ask how short did you cut yours down?

Just under 170mm. with 3 or 4mm above the start of the threads. I think with a Fiend or Cult Headset & Profile Push (It has a higher stack height) Your Spacer issues should be solved! I have heard a few people had problems with the bolts on the Cult stem too. I'd go with the Profile for sure. I know they have weird sized bolt heads but you're in the US so getting an allen key to fit shouldn't be a problem! I look forward to seeing your bike finished!
