Hey, I just checked my bike. I'm 5'6 and with my seat setting i still have 8-10 more inches i can adjust my seat upwards. As for flex, sport is different and lot less flex. Not really noticeable imo.

1450 vs 1200 for nearly the same bike. $250 can buy a lot of accessories.

The derailuer guard is probably bent and in the way. Common problem in shipping bikes. Bend be it back. Plenty of videos on youtube

My wife got her codes, ordered around 7/12. Will receive 9/1. I'll let you guys know how a sport compares vs flow.
