My new Trek 7.6 fx wsd . . . already problems

From the specs it looks like you have Deore trigger shifters? Is that correct? I don't see any adjustment in Shimano's technical documents. Would just re-positioning it help? Or turning the handlebars ... is the handlebar position otherwise comfortable, or do they feel like the angle is different from the bike you test rode?

On my mtb I was able to move my shifters closer to the grips and twist them up so it was closer to my thumb, not sure if you can do something similar.

If there is no way to adjust them and repositioning doesn't help, I would hope that the LBS would be willing to swap out the shifter for a model that works for the OP.

We took the bike to the LBS. He is changing out the shifters to Tiagra (?) not sure if this is the name. He has to do a bunch of other stuff to make it work. I don't know when I can pick it up. The LBS is really trying to make it right. This change will cost around $130. I told him after this I don't want to put any more money into the bike. I just don't want to get stuck with a bike I can't ride. :-
