jih, you run that on your bike? The fork appears to be cut significantly below the top of the stem.

This was my first attempt. It is within the min insertion of the stem but I wasn't happy with it being inserted so shallowly so I made a shorter one as a 'final' version.

Wow, that's a great idea. Keep forgetting that we have 3d printing available.

I purchased and installed the Ritchey 33mm OD spacers. I ordered the UD matte option. Perfect for my slim Deda Superleggera stem! A 3mm spacer for above the stem would be more perfect but it's nice that all the spacers match.

Are the Ritchey logos above or under clearcoat?

They aren't decals so I'm sure they are under. They are less subtle than they appear in the pics. In any case, it would be simple to sand them and respray them with clear if you wanted.
