its a pretty nice bike, look at neil tunnicliffes a1, its all/mostly black and looks amazing. the a1 is meant to be an amazing bike. many top riders use it. all of what you said should be alright, if i were you i'd ring tarty to order it as you can get them to get the right length pieces etc etc. oh and by it being short its wheelbase is shorter, so it will be easier to control. i'd go for the short if i were you.
