Yea, it's a shame there's not much love for C&V here. I'd say Try Me Bikes is probably the best bet, and maybe Trailhead Bike Cafe (they're nice guys there - dunno how their work is). Try Me stocks C&V stuff, and a fun place to sometimes stumble across a bike you want (at a premium). Tempe's Landis (the one by Price) used to have a mechanic that did C&V work for the fun of it, because he likes bikes, but he has moved onto a different profession - the shop is still a good spot though (as is the Scottsdale one).

I'm still waiting on my leather for the saddles (which means miles on my Eagle is limited - sad that).

Also, by "shop", I meant our car shop! That said, I do a fair amount of wrenching and restoration of bikes, so I have a lot of tools. As stated though, I lack a Stronglight puller. I thought about buying one a few weeks ago. Try Me or Scottsdale Landis are the best bets for that IMO.
