One of the few shop specific warranty's that make sense for commuters. My LBS has 5 year free tuneups, flats, labour deal for $ 59.99. When you ride 6000-8000 miles per year its a no brainer to get the warranty even if you do most of the maintenance work your self.

Obviously they want you back in on a regular basis to buy accessories and drool over your next bike. But the shop is on alternative route 2 of my commute so it takes little or no effort to get a great tuneup on the way home. Course you have to like the LBS staff work.

Not sure why I put this here - oh yeah - I guess I was getting a what is a good deal - A good deal is getting the bike you want, and having it stay in similar condition, for the life of the bike. Otherwise it wont matter what price you paid. So make you sure, you, or your LBS, or buddy, is willing and able to service the bike. Far more important the saving $100 bucks on a $1000 bike.
