In a few weeks, we will be starting a self-supported bicycle tour from St. Paul/Minneapolis. I am looking for a good LBS to ship my bicycle to, who will then unpack and assemble. Preferably not in the suburbs. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Call Jim or Kevin at Hiawatha Cycles - they would be a good bet: http://hiawathacyclery.com/cart/index.php?main_page=index
I also like Freewheel: http://freewheelbike.com/
Both of these are in Minneapolis - not the 'burbs. Both have given me good service. Good luck with your ride!
I purchased my last bike at Hiawatha cyclery and have been very happy with their service.
I would concur with Freewheel also, and add the Hub Bike Co-op (near the U of M).

Agree with above. There are several good shops within the urban core, though. Any other preferences? My side of the river has Grand Performance and County Cycles to name a few.

FYI:
If you are flying into MSP you can take the light rail from the airport to the Cedar Riverside station and walk 1.5 blocks East to Freewheel Bike.
