fix it properly (i.e. black chainset to match, and correct chainline)
and the shop went for the cheapest solution to hand - but then screwed
up by not making sure that it worked.
I'm assuming that your original chainset use non-replaceable rings,
hence the complete new chainset, rather than just a replacement inner
ring. A replacement is likely to have replaceable rings: Shimano do
the FC-M341-L (from their website) but they seem to only turn up only
on complete new bikes in the UK. Alternatives are available, e.g.
www.dotbike.com/ProductsP3780.aspx.
As others have said, don't bend anything, just take it back to the
shop and get them to fix it properly - you may well need to discuss
chainset options / cost if you want black (and I don't blame you -
style can be important, at times). And take it for a test ride before
you leave!
Good luck.
