Looking at the picture, it looks like my bars should be slightly rotated forward. Thought?
Looks good. No spacer required under stem. Yes, your bars should probably rotate a bit; however, that will also increase your effective drop in the hoods and you may have to compensate with a spacer. In my experience, drop should be increased in small increments over weeks.
