The seat is that high for three reasons; Im learning barspins on flat and Ive almost got them dialed, that seat post looks cooler when you can see it, and plus I ride alot of long commutes on it and and I don't like to stand the whole time.

The brake lever is like that because I don't even use my brakes I just slapped it on the new bars as quick as possible. The brakes are coming off in the next few days.

As for the bars Ive always ridden them like that, check my pics of the bike before these parts, it just seems more comfortable. But now that I no it's not as easy for barspins like that I'll adjust em tommorrow. Thanks guys!

PS. The bike doesn't look ridden and dirty because I just washed everything for 45 minutes and put stickers over major scratches and dents today.

I was thinking the same thing.

TheBigTuna14, maybe consider buying some decent skate shoes for riding. They'll grip much better, have better ankle and heel protection and will be much more comfortable.
