You could check out A Better Cycle, over on SE Division.
I have heard good things about them, but have never visited.

I had good experience with the Recyclery on 11th and Yamhill, but, when I went in last time, they had two new dudes with accents. I do not know if Chris and Chris still worked there, since I mostly dealt with them, and they were super nice.
I went to the 9th and Madison location, but was meh. I had a friend who went there, and she had a bad experience with extremely overpriced parts, but it was kind of her fault for not knowing ahead of time.
I have never been to the other two locations.
You could also check out the Community Cycling Center on NE Alberta. They were pretty nice in there, seemed to have a ton of used parts bins all over the place. I only went in because I had a flat tire the night before riding back to a friend's place, but it was right after every store closed, and I did not have a spare tube on me.
