I can only pull an additional single 10mm headset spacer out of the front end. The remaining 15mm has to be there given the design of the bottom of the Wilier Stemma, the way the brakes hoses and Di2 wires get hidden, and the interface at the top of the head tube. Long story short, for this frameset, the stem is 10mm from being “slammed”. Removing it wouldn’t make a ton of difference visually. Also, I can’t do **** about my 28” inseam. I suppose there may be a way to stretch my legs somehow.
I had a Retül bike fit done by my LBS that built it. They sent the measurements over to the mechanic. This was the end result. I haven’t had any discomfort in the knees or really felt like I needed to be 10mm lower at the handlebars. Wasn’t broke so I didn’t fix it.
I get it though. Just doesn’t look pro. Wish it did. Damn parents.
