a) nice bike
b) +1 on shorter stem
c) seat is too low, you just need to get used to sliding off the seat at stops when commuting. good rule of thumb for for initial set up is to size with heel on pedal and leg fully extended (locked) that will get you very close to where you need with the ball of your foot centered on the pedal axle.....you want so hips don't rock (go up and down) when you pedal and so you leg is is not fully extended
d) dual pivots are great as noted check adjustments and put new pads on
Like the color
