i thought it looked ridiculous (Cervelo). I brought the bike in to have it set up to the dimensions from my previous bike, so he flipped the stem. During a later fit, he put all those spacer on top and didn’t flip the stem back. I flipped it back and moved spacers to get it back to the same height. I’m pretty unhappy with the fit.
