Well, I don't know if anyone on the forum owns or works at a shop, so I hope I'm not hurting anyone's feelings by stating my experience: Most Phoenix bike shops I've visited aren't interested in C&V projects. The two who have been helpful above & beyond the rest (and are now basically the only one's I deal with) have been Slippery Pig in Central Phoenix, just North of Indian School, and Dominic's Two Wheelers in Tempe. There's also a bike coop here in Tempe I've been meaning to check out, because it sounds like they might have a lot of spare parts for cheap (or trade).
