So an update:
I got out of office early to visit Positivo to take a look at the shop and get a feel for the vibe. Very good impressions and I've ended up purchasing the 2012 Giant Pace from them. The same as my previous ride.
Things that sold me on Positivo:
Thanks for everyone on the list for bicycle and shop suggestions. I visited a few shops, looking for an alternate to Y's Futakotamagawa. I took a long hard look at the Cannondal Synapse Alloy 6 Tiagra and the Giant Defy 3. After consulting with the guys in Positivo, the Giant Pace still ended up as the best fit. Perhaps when my fitness level gets better, I will get a bicycle that will not have to do commuter duties. When that time comes, it will be from Positivo.

Things that sold me on Positivo:
- Friendly and humble staff.
- Staff that really listens to what you want and makes recomendations based on them.
- Labor part of maintenance is free.
- No mark up, everything MSRP.
- Staff was knowledgable, made recomendations, and had an opinion. They gave me enough knowledge to make informed decisions.
- No disappointment seen from them when I picked one of the cheapest bicycles. They spent a lot of extra time debating which size would fit me best and explaining possible upgrade paths. In fact they really got into discussing which paths would be the most cost effective.
