From Helen's Cycles in Santa Monica. They're an authorized dealer for both Pinnarelo and Ibis (along other brands). Just a heads-up, my Pinnarelo was assembled horribly. Took it back mulltiple times with issues and they couldn't fix it properly. Finally, I took the bike apart and put it back together properly myself. Bottom bracket wasn't torqued properly, cassette and derailleur hanger were loose, and handlebar/stem weren't torqued properly either (along with other minor things). Once I put it back together, it rode like a dream. I've purchased a lot of bikes from them in the past and they have a history of screwing up the assembly. Just a warning!
