The bike shop guy was completely swamped with work--his single employee had just quit when I brought the bike in for assembly--so it's evident to me the guy didn't act with due care. On an earlier ride, the rear wheel slipped out of the drop and rubbed on the frame. Also, derailleur adjustments were not done right (2nd opinion from another LBS). Don't think this guy will see much of me going forward.
Thanks to all of you who responded!
