Bike Shop Recommendation, Tucson AZ

My brother lives in Tucson and recently gave his old hybrid (remember hybrids?) to his son. He wants to do some more riding, and when he walked into Performance and they told him a bike cost $1500 he freaked.

Well, I'd really like to get him on one of those Stanyans from Velo Mine, or more likely a Homebrew, and build it with a bunch of stuff in my garage. I could get him 80% of the way there, but he'd still need a few things and he'd need it all assembled and adjusted, he'd probably need some entry-level fitting advice (seat fore-and-aft, stem length) --where should he go for that? A shop populated and run by humans, not Performance. Competent but down-to-earth staff. A place where Paceliners would go.

Extra points if they take in used bikes and have mountains of beausaged-but-still-serviceable parts. The best of all would be a place like Recycled Cycles in Seattle, if any of you in Tucson have been to that shop.

Thanks in advance.
