mine comes in tomorrow woohoo! so excited. went to my LBS couple nights ago and tried a few bikes. the specialized sirrus stuck out and I was on the verge of buying but at nearly $700 with tax, it kinda seemed like a bit much for a something I"m just started. I got this from nashbar though so hopefully I'll like it.

any advice for assembly? will I need any tools that are not included in the box? I know someone suggested that if I assemble it myself that should take it to my LBS to get tuned. can someone explain why I need to get it tuned and what that entitles and how long it takes?
