agree
the extra steerer length is a plus - cringe when a fresh steerer is cut (too) short
we left an extra portion of this steerer in place for additional height (picture above)
( this fork was installed in mid 90’s - if this would have been a few years later I would have gone with a carbon fork with a threadless steerer )
