One question, I gave it a quick spin around the parking lot -- it seems on some gears there is a bit of a rattling/clicking noise, almost like the chain isnt catching properly or something (I don't know the right terminology to describe it). But then other gears are totally fine, smooth and quiet.

Is this a tuning issue? They did a tune up before I left the store but maybe something isn't set correctly?

I'll give it another spin after work tonight to see specifically where its occurring.
See? That's what you get for buying a sportcheck bike

Sounds like chain rub, can happen on a 5K bike too. Maybe the front derailleur is a bit off? They should adjust it for you.
