The bike costs $1700 before taxes or accessories, so I have to decide if I even want to accept it. I'm a little worried the problem is somehow caused by a bad fork mount, a badly installed brake, or a defective brake. For this kind of money...wouldn't you think it's fair to ask that the bike not have defective parts? :-( I'll certainly take your suggestions like making sure the wheel is set in the fork fully when I'm trying it out.
Who says it has any defective parts? Perhaps the brake was not installed well, that's possible with any bike, let the shop deal with it if you can't.
