DC Bike Shop Recommendations?

Regarding the earlier thread about Gilles Berthoud saddles, I'll be in the Washington, DC area this weekend (Vienna, VA, specifically). Does anyone know of a shop that carries these saddles? I'm got really getting anywhere with my Google search.

A shop that carries Brooks would be ok, too, I suppose (I can at least get a feel for which size is good for me and compare them with the Berthoud saddles).

Thanks in advance.

There are two that I know of:

1. Hudson Trail Outfitters at:

9488 Fairfax Boulevard
Fairfax, VA 22031

2. Performance Bike at:

8387 Leesburg Pike
Pike 7 Plaza, Vienna, VA 22180

I know there are others in that area(Vienna/Fairfax), but they don't come to mind at the moment.

Bicycle Space (https://www.bicyclespacedc.com/) is an excellent shop, and they keep a good selection of Brooks in stock. You should stop by if you go downtown.
