When I head back to A2 there are 3 shops I like to visit, though I'm not a good judge of how Riv-ish they are:
- Midwest Tandem: Lots of tandems (doh!) and recumbents and usually some other interesting velocipedes in the shop to gawk at. Be prepared to spend some time, as the owner tends to be pretty chatty. https://www.yelp.com/biz/midwest-bike-and-tandem-ann-arbor - SIC Transit Cycles: Probably the shop in A2 most like what you asked for. Good folks, good selection of stuff. https://www.yelp.com/biz/sic-transit-cycles-ann-arbor?osq=Bicycle+Shop - Shinola Lifestyle Boutique: Shinola has a showroom on Main St. downtown that's fun to walk through. Get yourself a cappuccino from the Shinola espresso bar and enjoy a leisurely tour of chi chi leather goods, watches and bicycles from Shinola. I can't imagine buying anything there, but I do enjoy wandering through. Since you grew up in A2 I assume you know to stay away from Student Bike Shop. They've been selling stolen bikes and abusing customers for at least 30 years that I know of and somehow they're still in business. A thoroughly unpleasant place to spend any time at all in my experience.
