After visiting several Seattle bike shops just to find one that seemed both friendly and knowledgeable I discovered Velo.
This is a great place if you don't want to deal with the kind of bike snobs that seem to work in many of the high end (high priced) shops.
I have found the owner and staff at Velo to be extremely helpful and when I brought them my DeRosa, which I purchased on eBay, they did a thorough tune up and detailing which made it feel like a brand new bike...all at what I thought was a totally reasonable price.
I give this shop two thumbs, and two big toes, up!
