I know there are shops that carry what you need. Find another shop.
My faves in no particular order:
Outback
Intown
Peachtree
REI
Bicycle South
Sounds like you were in Midtown or maybe buckhead. You forgot Performance on NE Expressway access road on the other side of I85 from REI. I am very happy with the selection and price at Performance. Not quite the one on one feel but on clothing and accessories where self service is fine I am pretty happy because of the selection.
I'm in the Burbs but I'm not going to be more specific because it would point right at the shop. I know patrons and probably employees of the LBS are here and I rather they stay anonymous. They do good things for the bike community locally and that I commend them for. Just missing the segment of riders I am in.
