When i first got the frame i shoved in the fork without the h/s fitted ,just to see how they looked ,thats where it had 85mmm sticking out,orange71":1idirk2h said:but you said your 200mm steerer is too long by 40-50mm??? makes 160 about right?
When i said it looked too long ,this though may have just been panic ,as nothing on this build has gone right so far

when i look at it in the clear light of day and i take off say 12mm for each cup plus 50 for the stem and a couple of spacers, It looks not too long
