And, what criteria did the group use to determine if the "angel tree kids" receiving the bikes are "underprivileged". I don't blame Villages Cycles for refusing to assist the OP.

you know what, that's a very good point. let's say for arguments' sake, they did look over & approve the bike, & it was presented @ Xmas day. for some reason the bike 'fails' or the kid has an accident, they might try to come after the business that checked the bike.
maybe OP could bring it to a private person in a bike club who knows what's what, & have them check it? bless you for thinking of others this time of year
