Since you are dishing out a few coins. ASk them to take it down so you can sit on it.

I own a 08 stinky D! sized 15.5. I am 5'7", 160lbs and in all reality its a bit small for me, but that is the type of frame/size i personal like.

ask them to let you sit/ try it.

Since bike is new, its probably normal. Just break in the bike first.

I don't think its normal. The ride been a pain with the PAD stuck.

If catches only on one side you could undo the caliper bolts and place a thin piece of paper in between the pad and rotor,then squeeze the brake as you would normally and re tighten the bolts,but in fairness all brakes rub.

another option to do is undo the caliper bolts, just enough so its slightly loose. Squeeze the brakes and hold it in place, as you have the brake squeezed, tighten the caliper bolts up. Try that out.

I have issue with the Seat.

Is it suppose to not touch the frame?

I might just add a screw instead...

You just need to make sure that your seat clamp is nice and straight. It has enough room to clear, but not much.

I like the non QR clamps best on my bikes.

The releif cut in the Seat Tube is on the back of the seat tube, so the QR should also be on the rear.

Actually that could be a frame defect. The shop I worked at last summer sent a few 09 stinkys back to kona because the ISCG mounts were welded incorrectly. I would bring it into a kona dealer a show them what has happened, they should be able to hook you up with a new front triangle with the correct mounts.
