And maybe you can answer this. The handlebar stem is not perfectly aligned. Is it just a matter of loosening that inner bolt and twisting the collar?

Your bike is beautiful. Do you like the ride better than the Curve? On my first ride I think I did. It’s rainy now so I can’t take it out for a long ride like I want to.
I have the Maxxis Hookworm tires on it. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
As for the stem, you should be able to loosen the bolts and adjust the handlepost. I have my bike at work, so I can't really check until Monday for you. I'll let you know.

I'd probably like the Wasp better if I didn't have 2 issues I'm about to have corrected. #1 is the rear wheel seems to have bad bearings, so I'm taking it to my bike shop for a check-up. #2 is the brakes. They're too mushy. I'm going to see if there's a way to upgrade. Again, I'll ask my LBS for some recommendations. They've never steered me wrong.
