He is a top 100 Cannondale dealer. https://www.bikeauthority.com/ 440-546-9966 Good luck

Several other shops were supposed to get me prices for a new Breezer, but it was like pulling teeth. The first one to get me a price got the sale. Mitch missed out, because he took too long. It would have been cheaper buying from him in the long run, though.
I see Bike Authority on my called numbers, but I don't know what came of my interaction with them. I was specifically looking for Breezers in the end, and they might not carry those.

Pasadena, CA. Hmm let's see....
Pasadena Cyclery: Small shop, limited selection, prices are just OK. The female mech is cute though
Velo Pasadena: Upper end with prices to match. Many Colnago and high-end frame sets. Kind of elite and snotty, at least to me.
Helens: Nice people, good stock, a bit pricey, and can be a bit pushy on the sales sometimes.
Performance: The WallMart of bikes.
Incycle: Large stock, nice guys, regular sales. So-so prices.
Stans Monrovia: Very small shop, limited stock. The owner's a really nice guy.
Open Road: My LBS of choice. Large with many nooks and crannies. Often looks as if a bike shop exploded in there (although it's been much better lately). NOS and used parts as well as new stuff. Prices are just OK until you become a regular and then he tends to just round down to an even number a lot. Steve, the owner, is probably one of the most bike-knowledgeable people in the state if not the country.

Mr. Brown is my goto guy where bike info is concerned. No doubt there are more knowledgable bike people out there, but they don't spoon feed the info to me on the WWW like Sheldon.
If I'm going to plug anybody, it's going to be him. He's helped me a heluva lot more than all my LBS's put together!

Bike Line...1028 Arch St Philadelphia PA. It is a Trek shop and does not have the greatest selection if you don't like Trek. They have been very good to me since I bought my bike from them back in Feb. of last year. Their mechanic is top notch (from what I have experienced) and they will make sure they can get me whatever I need for a very fair price.

freeze thaw
This is recent store started by Penn State grads that recycles old bikes into hipster fixies etc. It's been very successful in a short amount of time.

They're my fav LBS because:
They are an easy ride/walk from my house
The mechanics are friendly and helpful & give me advice on anything bike-related.
As well as selling a good variety of new bikes, they also sell "good" second-hand bikes.

For Colorado Springs I gotta say Bryans.
He's in an old wharehouse bulding down by the railroad tracks.
The minute I walked in I fell in love with the place. He's got a wood stove
in the middle of the shop and was working on an old shwinn tandem as
his dog chewed on and old 12" bike tire
Tons of older used stuff..the kind of stuff I like.
He's got 25 years of experience and works on all kinds of bikes
Not only that but he's one of the coolest dudes I've met in any bike
shop.
He was genuinely interested in me and what I do (fixing bikes and giving them
to the poor). I was short a few bucks on the tire I needed and he let me owe him...
(holy cow) will YOUR LBS do that for you ??
For a first time walk-in to his place I was convinced this is who is getting my
future biz !!
He's only open tues, thurs, and sat...and not in the phone book (but you can find him
by doing a google search)
