It's a modern bike, it would drive me to drink much faster. Try the back wheel, make sure its in there straight and enough quick release skewer. Watch the front derailer moving, when you have it in the repair stand. Just thought of the brake and derailler cable ends, might rub the tire,or what ever. Its making a pedaling noise vs. a freewheeling or coasting noise. I'd check the the pedal axles have no severe "slop" to them. The pedal axle threads should have some grease on them. You don't put any grease on the BB Spindle bolts or nuts. Several bike books say just your natural oil on your fingers is enough. Sorry to write a long boring reply. Chris
