As an aside: if you bring it in to be tuned up and it still shifts rough - get it to a good (different) mechanic. I had my bike "tuned up" a couple of times by guys who clearly didn't know what they were doing. I was ready to trash the bike. Once I got my bike to a solid mechanic WOW - night and day. I've put just under 1000miles on it since the real tune up and it's still shifting smoothly.
And I have crap components! The lowest you can get!!

tomorrow!
Thanks, everyone!
Yup, my LBS offers free tune ups on bikes that they sell. I was just afraid that if I took it in for something like that it would take two weeks. But if it's something that can be done in a short amount of time (like while I'm there, or while I'm out in search of a bagel) then that would be cool. You're right, equus, clunky shifting is SO annoying! I plan to take 'er in tomorrow morning when they open. It will give me a chance to poke around for shoes and pedals. Woohoo!
