Bikes: I hate bikes!

I can't think of a shop near me that stocks cloth tape. The only shop close to me that had any understanding of c&v stuff, just closed last month. Owner was a real nice guy, had been in business for 20+ years but had to keep moving the shop around the area as rents continued to increase. He told me that the only way he could see making a go of it anymore is to do the super-duper high end road bike fitting/coffee/service/adult-male-expensive-club-house-hangout thing. That would take several hundred thousand dollars just to launch with very little guarantee of long term success.
