A local shop where? US? Canada? UK? Europe somewhere?
Is those two pics all the info we get? What does it say across the top tube (the horizontal tube running from the handlebars to the seat). The shifters look like friction type and judging from the bolt on rearwheel I guess it is a lowerend bike. If I knew for sure it was a US market bike I might say a Ross or maybe a St Tropez.
