I had taken a Motobecane GJ of my daughter's to a small bike shop to have new tires installed . The guy who runs the shop is a retired racer/ Ferrari mechanic with a very nice selection of bicycle tools and jigs. When he went to put the front wheel on , he noticed it didn't look quite right. He took out a gage and check the alignment of the fork tips to the fork and found they weren't right. He spent about half an hour with a jig and straightened it out for her. The whole job with tires , installation, and fork alignment was about $100 . I thought it was very reasonable and the bike was worth it. He said that he has seen new bikes that are not correctly aligned so not to worry about if the bike had been damaged in an accident.
