Love those frames almost as much as the 595's, but it looks a bit odd with all those spacers being used under such an aggressively angled stem? Looks like the bars have been angled right back and levers fitted up really high too to gain even more height?
I know that's largely the fashion in the US, but I've never understood why you guys don't just use less aggressive stems to get height instead of using spacers and high levers. Not saying it's wrong to, but it is kind of contradictory to me used to looking at European road bikes.
Edit, obviously ignore me if your mate hasn't been fitted yet and this isn't finished? : ) Nice bike and good colour-coordinations btw. : )

sick looking bike!!!!!
love the schemes.... IMO, the bike looks slower with the high stacked spacers ( but if back problems persist..put it back on ) .... try also putting in some white hoods on your reds...
Overall, looks fantastic... great job on the setup...

Why two threads with your friends bike?

I see you had to go with the Michelin Ironmans to get the red colour.

The frame is supplied with the stem. The bottom "spacer" is the headset top cap, also supplied with the frame, and is 30mm tall. Looks like there is another 10mm spacer added as well.
The Time stems are 10mm taller than most others, Deda or Thomson for example. I run a Deda on my Time (shorter than the supplied Time stem) and the slight rise on the stem gives the same height as the Time stem, it's the size of the Time stem that maybe looks a bit funny in the picture.
Nice bike by the way. How does your friend like the ride? Mines stiff as a stiff thing and will really give a beating on a bumpy road.
