The top of the steering tube is flush with the bottom of the top screw. It seemed like it held fine, but I am not sure how things will handle over time and with real road conditions and speed.
That steerer is too ****ing short, end of ****ing story. That is bull**** to the max, if you want marginal safe, the top of the steerer is above the TOP of the screw, not the bottom.
And your LBS cut the steertube, not the headtube.
