suspect seatpost is going to be the least of adjustments needed -there's a reason bikes at the LBS cost more than from a box; and it's worth it
I agree! A nice set of quality Allen wrenches, I like the Bondus style with the ball, are more than worth the cost of aggrivation, stripped bolt heads and time lost not riding.
