Yes I've discussed it with Wendy but I wouldn't say that a 1mm gap is "normal".  Of all the bikes that have integrated bars none have such an unsightly gap which would also allow water and dirt to enter the bearings more easily.

That doesnt look like a LCR017-D

This is from a previous post in this thread of a painted frame which looks to have a too large of a gap between the top tube and the spacer. I believe that the spacer or the pass through washer should be adjusted accordingly

Can you post a link to the website page you grabbed that image from?
