Hi Bob, and welcome to town! I have two recommendations for you if you are staying in/near town. They are Kindred Cycles at approximately 25th and Smallman in The Strip district (near downtown proper), and my LBS of choice is Thick Bikes on the Southside on 15th near Carson.
There are others if you are more towards PITT or Carnegie Mellon U. Maybe Andy could pitch in for other east end shops. I would like to do some team De-Caf rides this year...I’ll check it out.
