ha ha, actually, it's "VALYGRL", there's another valleygirl from the LA area....
Boulder has some 520's - there's a 19" 2006 on discount at Bicycle Village, there is at least one 2007 (larger size, i think) at University Bikes, and there's a store up in Longmont called "Hike and Bike" or "Bike and Hike" that has 2 or three 520's, I think one of them was very large. I guess since I have a 520, I notice them.
I'm pretty sure I saw a Volpe somewhere, but can't remember if it was in a shop or on the road. MIght also have been bicycle village - which is a chain, so maybe there is one closer to you, i don't know.
Don't forget to check out REI, as well - the Randonee looks like a pretty decently equiped tourer, and it's REI, so if you get it and it doesn't work, you can return it. Although, the parts pick on the 520 is much higher quality.
