Honestly, Chicago doesn't have, and never really has had, fancy high end bike shops. Not as a destination shop at least.

Areed on these. Chicago has never been a fancy bike town like others are. Get a Grip is the closest to downtown by a longshot. http://www.getagripcycles.com/

Velosmith is the shop you are looking for. It would be an hour drive to get to it.

If you want high quality on all fronts it's as good as any shop that exists. https://www.velosmith.com/
