If you make it up to Minneapolis, you're welcome to stop by my hole in the wall frame shop. It's just a dusty industrial sort of place but everyone is welcome. One bike shop worth visiting in Minneapolis is One On One Bicycle Studio which is located at 117 Washington Ave. N. It's on the north end of down town and has a nice selection of on topic bikes on display. The shop also has coffee and serves a limited lunch menu. I can't vouch for the food.
Another worthy bike shop is a new venture called Hiawatha Cyclery. It's in Minneapolis but I'm not quite sure where it's located. I'm sure a quick google search would locate it.
I hope you have a nice visit. Spring is here!
