To check for a loose headset, straddle the top tube, clamp down on the brake
levers, and try to rock the bike back and forth.  A little play is ok, but
clicking noises are a sure sign of excessive play.  Whip the handlebars
back and forth--if there's any resistance, adjustment is too tight.
Look out for the threads on the steering tube--very fragile!
