Brakes aren't the best but suspect that's down to the pads rather than the calipers.
Yup, wear it in a bit, and/or loosen the cable a little so there's a longer throw to modulate the brakes.
If new pads, go for the Swissstop BXP with holder (AFAIK those Tiagra brakes don't have those).

Hard to fault this bike. Alu frame plus bigger tyres is such a nice combination.
New Tiagra works like a dream. Brakes aren't the best but suspect that's down to the pads rather than the calipers.
Oh yeah - the saddle is dreadful. Far too much padding. My gooch hurts quite a lot today. I'll fuck about with the angle a bit more.
I actually quite like running a load of spacers and riding in the drops for long periods.
