what wwaswas said - I was in a similar situation recently with change of frame. They come in at 21mm stack height IIRC.

eyerideit - that's a zero stack one though, wouldn't fit a 'normal' frame as the bearings sit inside the headtube?

Another thing to concider would be a different stem, somethin like this sunline one that only has a 35mm stack hight.
