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.
