If you can get the seatpost and seat right, replace the rear rim/wheel and brake lever and keep riding. (No rush on the wheel but it will drive you nuts, especially as a fix gear, And don't even think about running a gear that is an even number of wheel revolutions per pedal stroke. (48/16 for example.)
The seat height is just a tad too high — I was able to ride it fine but wish I could move it a half inch or inch down. I’ve tried to remove it but I’m pretty sure the aluminum post has fused with the steel frame, and I’m generally lacking in tools to remove it.
What do you mean by your last sentence? The bike right now is running 48/16. Is it a matter of consistent wear on the tire?
