bike source by far.

i have used all the shops in columbus for a while and thats the one i always find myself going back to.

if you are just going to drool at tri bikes though check out tri-tech. bike source if you need something.

x2 on newbz advice.

Tritech has everything tri that you could want, and at reasonable prices, but I frequently can't take the attitude there. One of the owners is nice and one is either socially awkward or kind of jerky. I'm not really sure which, but it doesn't make for a pleasant purchasing experience.  They are FIST certified for fittings, though. I did get a great fitting there. BikeSource, at every location of theirs in Central Ohio I have been to (3) they have been nice to a flaw. Once they changed a tube for me for free, simply because it was such a challenge and took them so long. They just didn't charge me.
