simmonsgc - you could make $$ selling those spacers. I've got a drop bar conversion that I love riding, but hate the looks of so much of my dirt drop stem showing. Like your bike too.
I've been working on my 1955 Phillips 3 speed and am pretty much done. So now that my wheel truing skills have improved (I made my first set of wheels for the Phillips), I decided to true the wheels on my '88 Rockhopper. They were "off" quite a bit with the tension, but they're good now. I went for a brief ride around my neighborhood and, damn, that bike sure is fun to ride. Stealthy, quiet, nimble but not twitchy. I came home with a big smile!
