Thanks guys! I think what I'm gonna do is probably look at fitting wider possibly tubeless tires. Partially for comfort but mainly bc on my commute, I've gotten so many flats. Then I'll try a new saddle. It has the barmac on it, I think I'll just keep it on there but probably get some extra thick soft bartape.

I'll start looking for a cheap commuter eventually. I can definitely see where this bike shines. Just wanna make sure I ride it more and not have it be that sports car in the garage that never gets driven.

Btw my lil brother wants me to keep it but says he understands if it isn't the right bike for me. And apologies for posting a help question in the in the intro section!
