As one who rides bikes with 650mm stack, 410mm reach, and some spacers- I accept that my bikes are not beautiful to most people. I try to church em up in little ways, but recognize they are more function than form.
spacers (unless REALLY high) don't bother me.. nor does a longer head tube (again, to an extent..).. but I also love the looks of a classic steel road race bike with a fistful of seat post and bars much closer to saddle than what we see today.. but I also don't mind a bit of slope to the tt as well..

we all have weird and different views on "what's proper".. as long as we're not trying to "yuck someone else's yum" by talking crap about their short or upturned stem, etc, we're all good..
