Recommended Bike shop in the Tampa Bay area?
I know the bike I want, CAAD 10! What I don't know is where to purchase it. I would like to find a LBS where bike fit is paramount! I live in Tampa but am willing to travel if necessary (there's got to be a descent LBS in central Florida somewhere).
These are my local LBS's that carry Cannondale.
1 Bent's Schwinn Cyclery
2 University Bicycle
3 Flying Fish Bikes Inc.
4 The Bike Shop Of Winterhaven
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Besides University Bike Center, and Flying Fish (2 sites), take a look at Carrollwood Bike Emporium, Oliver's Cycle Sports, Citrus Park Cyclery, Chainwheel Drive, Revolution Bike Shop, Outspokin Bikes.
Take your time, look, keep an open mind since you'll see other bikes that might also work for you. Ride them. Be sure you get a proper fit. Good luck.

The only Cannondale shop I have been in is Flying Fish Bikes off of MacDill Ave. I am not sure of they do fittings but there are a few shops that do. OutSpokin in Clearwater, St Pete Bikes and Fitness, Swim, Bike, Run in Wesley Chapel, and the mobile wind tunnel are a few. I know the guy who does the fittings for the wind tunnel and he is very knowledgeable. He did my GURU fit when he worked at St Pete Bikes and Fitness.

Out of those, I have dealt with University Bikes and Flying Fish Bikes. I would recommend University Bikes (ask for Manny if he is there), but can't say the same about Flying Fish.

Of the two Flying Fish shops, I prefer the one in Westchase. The do carry Cannondale and have a good fitter.
