Subject: RE: Tri Gear in Oregon?Full disclosure, I'm one of the partners that owns Athletes Lounge in Portland. We're the only full-service triathlon focused retail store in the Portland Metropolitan area. There was another soft goods (no bikes ) tri store in the Gateway district, but they closed their doors last fall.
Northwest Multisports in Corvalis is the only other full-service triathlon shop in Oregon. Gordie, the owner, is very knowledgeable and a heck of a cyclist. I'm sure he'll take good care of you if you don't want to make the trek to Portland.
There are bike shops in Portland that carry a limited supply of tri bikes. River City carries Cervelo, and usually has a good inventory. Bike Gallery carries Trek and Orbea, but I don't believe they have much inventory of tri bikes on the floor. Cycle Path occasionally has Scott tri bikes in stock.
Fit Right NW usually has a few soft goods items.
REI and Performance carry some items.
If you come by the store, please introduce yourself as being part of the BT community. I'm the tall skinny guy.
Train safe.
