My girlfriend's new Giant Cypress has a bit of chain rub on the front derailleur. How do I adjust? :(

Thanks, Kenhttp://www.giant-bicycle.com/images/_upload_us/bikes/models/zooms/2005/Cypress-w_-sage_green.jpg

In what gear combination(s) does it rub?

If it is a new bike take it back to the dealer and have the cables and derailleurs adjusted.

Is she trimming the derailleur?
