Yeah definitely getting my gloves today.
One of my mentors/professor at uni is a racer who is really experienced in bike fitting and maintenance so he helped me with the fitting as well as cutting the seat-post down by a few inches not beyond the threshold limit.
As for the rear bag, I am guessing my best bet is the smallest size I can find as for now to fit it nicely with my tools in it.
Do all new bikers have a OCD towards the cleanliness of their bike? Somehow I am. Whenever I see dirt and spots on it, no choice but to wipe them off nicely since its a white frame!
