It's "only" 57mm or so of spacers. I just didn't have anything but small ones on hand. I'll worry about making it look good later. For now, I'm just riding it.
You might be able to get to the same place (same reach/height for the bars) with one of these - http://salsacycles.com/components/pr...25-degree_stem , and reduce the stack at the same time. I contemplated that for my Vaya, but wasn't sure that it would look good/better.

I know the LHT might reject it like a bad organ match since its made by Salsa, so there may be other options
