I admit that my reply was full of sarcasm. So that's about the only thing wrong with my reply. But for a new and trusted brand name bike, one will assume it's built correctly. Or do the bikes come fully disassembled with fork removed for shipping?
There is a lot to be talked about as to the correct assembly of a threadless stem and steerer tube. Carbon steerer's do have a few additional concerns.
But since the OP did only ask if the picture looked okay, then about all I can gather from the picture says it is okay. Otherwise we'll have to have the OP take the top cap off and show or tell us what's inside and some other info.
I responded to your post because that was what I was responding to. You brought a new idea to the thread and I was addressing that idea.
Stop with the butt hurt.
And the OP isn't just asking about looks. That's an expression.
