I am planning on moving that...heh.  As I said, it is only semi-assembled - ie just out of the box and sat together just to have a look.  Don't read too much into it.

Hi, I would move the spacers NOW, that will put stupid amounts of preasure on the fork steerer and may bend it even on a short trip round the block, it would also explain why you thought the front end felt heavy!

Below is an example of a headset put together correctly :-

Cheers.  I moved them well before attempting to ride it.  As I said, everything was sitting together without being assembled with any intent when I took the pictures.  It probably has more to do with the fact that the frame is slightly longer and the bars substantially lower (in relation to the seat) than on the hybrid I currently have.  That would indicate either (or both) of me and the bike need some adjusting.

Driving with the spacers like that is definitly dangerous. I'm sure the fork is not designed to take the strain like that.

Cheers,
