...And then what?
The best outcome would be to befriend a mechanic, who'll show you what you need to do. Some shops let you rent bench time so you can use their tools and ask them questions. Picking up a good bike maintenace book would be a good idea. Some of the better books are available on cd rom. I haven't looked at the cds but I understand they do a nice job of walking you through fixes.
One thing I didn't mention last night is a replaceable hanger. A pretty good percentage of aluminum frames have hangers that bend or break easier than the frame. If you have a hanger which is removeable you can go to the shop where you bought the bike and get a replacement.
