It makes me happy (and a little sad) to see folks recommending VeloCult. I
discovered this shop only a few months before they moved out of San Diego,
and I liked them a lot. The selection of goods was very unique, nothing
like other stores in SD. Super friendly guys, especially Tom the mechani
How about Clever Cycles or City Bikes? Velo Cult too.

Basically I haven't encountered much gruff from any shop in Portland,
especially when dealing with their service/mechanical folks. It's like
rolling into a shop with a Riv tells the mechanics it's okay to talk about
unracy bikes.
The two closest shops to me are West End and Western Bike Works, and
The Universal Cycles store on Burnside has a showroom with Brooks, Nitto,
Tekro, Sugino, ... and (based on the guy who helped me)
excellent mechanic(s).

Universal Cycles does indeed have a large showroom. SE 22nd and E Burnside.
They also have a rack INSIDE for you to park your bike. No coffee, but Heart
Coffee is right across Burnside. They let me leave my bike there while I
fetched coffee for my ride home, over the hills to the West.

Also worth checking out is A Better Cycle down on SE Division and 23rd, and
if you like the cargo bikes, Splendid on SE Ivon and 4th.
Also worth noting is that several local bagmakers have storefronts, too.

My Rambouillet was originally sold at Coventry Cycles when they were a
Rivendell Dealer, and I bought my All Rounder at Sellwood Cycles. Both
great shops, both pre-date the current hipster culture,
bike-as-fashion-statement movement that some people associate with Portland
today. Also, don't
Visiting Velo-Cult is like the "bike Internet" made real. Loved it.
