Bike shops in Michigan

You probably already have enough suggestions but I have to mention my bike shop - Continental - which is on John R in Hazel Park.  We have bought a number of bikes there .  The owner is great and the guy who does the bike fitting is outstanding.  He put up with all my newbie questions and took all sorts of time to make sure everything was just right.

I'm a frequent offender at Continental.  Very good shop, awesome service. 

I live near Windsor and bought a bike at Bikesport 2 years ago. I have been generally pleased with the service and the fit, and I certainly saved a lot of money. You do need to consider that you are required to pay GST and PST on the bike when you bring it back to Canada, and you may also have to pay a duty depending on where the bike was built. I bought a Cervelo so duty was not a problem. If you are going to treat the shop in MI as your LBS it does get inconvenient driving back and forth and taking the bike through customs. If you are going to use a Sarnia shop as your LBS you may encounter a little hostility about buying the bike somewhere else.

Trisport in Windsor has a fair selection of triathlon bikes, and would probably be the closest Canadian option. The service and fit are not as good though, and the price is higher.

PM me if I can answer any questions.

That is a good suggestion about Ambassador Bikes. I have not been in there for several years but it sounds like they have become much more involved in road and triathlon biking recently instead of just mountain biking, and I have heard some good things about their service. I don't know what brands they carry or how good they are at fitting. Bikesport has spent about 8 hours fitting and refitting me, all at no charge.
