Jon, I think that's a good idea. I hope to use this warranty period by hanging out in the repair shop while they're doing any adjustments - I think that in a year I can learn enough about adjustment and repair that I'll be pretty self sufficient.

We bought a used bike for my wife, so I'm going to try to keep her's in good shape too. It's a Specialized Crossroads (she loves it). It seems like a pretty good quality bike and shouldn't need much more than the usual tweaking.
