Oh and I love my Ti Lynskey. So comfortable for the most part but a bit harsher on the front in the rough stuff.

Ummm, I'll just have to say I disagree with you. When I bought my Lynskey last winter I had many discussions with them beforehand about setting up the bike as I needed it for my disabilities. Until recently I have spent about the last 5 years riding with the saddle and bars pretty much level due to chronic back problems. They gave me the option of leaving the steerer tube uncut so I could set up the bars as I wanted. So I see no reason to believe that this could not have come from Lynskey like this.
On a side note, in my case I just asked them to cut the steerer at the maximun safe height instead of leaving it uncut. In my thinking it didn't make sense to leave it so high and uncut if it would be unsafe. Especially as I ride in the mountains a lot and see descents in the 40-50 mph range. You don't want anything breaking at those speeds.

So THE FACTORY, set a limit on what stack height their fork could tolerate. This is something ever assembly factory has included in their BOM. For carbon it's usually 30¬40mm. Alloy is different and clearly larger.
