Nice review! I have to agree on the seat. I trained my butt to do 2 hours in the stock saddle, but I'm much happier with the Seat Concepts tall seat.
The brakes improve with time, especially after a series of hard stops in an empty parking lot. After they bed in, they are adequate. But a set of EBC pads will get you more stopping power.
