Looks fantastic! Please expalin to non cyclist what the Stem issue is? You should swap your Garmin Bing maps back to google, use this link to download a patch that is an easy fix (if you use google chrome) Cheers https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/fbeiifjiimghhaijicmdphhpockpbldc#
The part of concern here is the 10cm of tube that is sticking in the air just behind the handlebars. When you get a new bike, you cut the steerer tube to a hight where your handlebars will go, and the reason you cut it is so it doens't look liek mine. It not a function issue, just aesthetics. Cyclists are pedantic folk, and everything must be clean and sharp.
Now with Cervelo's, there's a part in the steerer tube that must be glued in so you can bolt the stem down. This part was glued without taking my measurements first, and now I can't cut it because it's glued in at this massive height. If I was to cut it, it would mean cutting the whole mechanism off, making the bike un-rideable.
