If it was air in the system or low fliud I would think the shop would have caught that pretty quickly. Same with worn pads. That's a tough one. :???:

If the pads are broken in and you have a pulse on rotation, you may have a warped rotor. Did you sight it while spinning the wheel by hand ?

Does the lever feel mushy when this happens or steady firm pressure? Was the brake fluid changed out when you got the bike?
