The spacers are there to stay. I don't think I'll ever be able to do what Rujano is in that picture. Like I say, unless you can do that - even if you are pretty flexible, you are going to feel some serious pain with your bars too low.
Do you really have to be that flexible though? After all, your legs aren't out in front of you like that when you're riding.
I'm not saying flexibility doesn't matter as it definatly does, but I don't think you have to be as flexible as the guy in the picture.
