Looks good with those Jones! You appear to have plenty of steerer tube left to play with - that's the main issue with mine. I've only got 1/2 the amount of spacers you have and it's maxxed out. Right now I have 90mm stem with a 30 degree rise, and with my Origin8 Space Offroad bars with a 30 degree backsweep it's pretty good, but not quite right still, plus I'd like to put drops on mine--I don't love the steering characteristics of backswept bars, and ultimately, I prefer drops. I've accepted that the best bet for me is to buy a new CC fork so I can have more steerer tube to work with - it'll be so much more flexible.
