When they put the bikes together, they usually:

-Put the stem on top of all the spacers
-They flip the stem UP
-Seatpost height near to level with the bars
-Bars rotated up above level

To accommodate the various bodies shapes and sizes that may test ride that bike.

This does not mean your bike is not nice or good, so dont take offense. BUT this also means if you are posting your bike and hoping to get some "Hot's" just because you got a new bike, water bottle cage or bar tape, think if it fits the "requirements". Remember that there is a "show me your bike" thread also, which will be more forgiving and not so hard up on said "requirements".
