Moreso just saying that paying the the premium at a local bike store may be worth it for some people.
My post summed up was basically this: if you're a DIY'er and don't mind working on your own bike yourself, the Nishiki is a great option. If you're not a DIY'er and want a shop to work on your bike, it might be worth paying extra for free service down the road. It's like buying an extended warranty for your car--not worth it to some, but worth it to others.
Again, it's not a knock against this bike, moreso just defending the premium paid at a local bike shop.
Understood. The X warranty is a popular sales tactic at dealerships to make money on you, just sayin
I have no problem taking my Dbacks into my LBS and asking for tuning, tips, etc. They always sneer at the Dbacks I spent $400-600 on and try to sell me the $2k bike (not an exaggeration), but I am OK with it because they help me keep my bike riding!
Where to get good price on Specialized or Giant bicycles?

Do they take any measurements to adjust bike to each customer?

When on sale, some of the bikes are a good buy, but as others pointed out you'll lose some of the personalized service (and free adjustments) that most dedicated bike shops offer.

But I want to mention that with cheap rims and marginally spec tires, it is entirely possible for the tire to slip/pop off. Heck, I personally experienced this with some cheap 26" wheels a month ago. (Luckily), it happened overnight after pumping them up. I did some further experiments and found this only happened with 2 particular tires (completely different brand and width, 1 old and 1 new) and only when pumped above 35psi. The other rim (also different brand/vintage) didn't have the same problem. I even tried different inner tubes in the combos to conclude this...
