First tune up?

Hello all,

I am really enjoying this site, tons of great information. I am new to the sport and have almost 100 miles on my new road bike. At what point should I take it in for a once over? Is there a set time on new bikes, or should I just wait until there is a specific problem? I tend to live under the mantra of and ounce of prevention...

I appreciate your input.

What does the place you bought it have to say? They would set the policy regarding new bike tune-ups, free or otherwise. Best to ask them.
