As I mentioned in the beginning, and in response to those commenting about the long steerer tube/spacers/stem set-up on my Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, I've installed the Voodoo Nakisi Dirt Drop stem. It definitely cleaned up the front-end and allows for a spiffy looking saddle height for the Midge bars. The Nakisi stem was a bit tricky to install because of it's integrated adjuster cap (Measuring and cutting the steerer tube was not the usual "install the fork, slide on whatever spacers and the stem, mark the steerer where it protrudes, subtract 3 mm, and cut it off). But the design is really cool, it's steel, and it works great; and as I've said, it's a threadless version of Salsa's drop bar quill stem from the 80's.
