Default looking for competent shop in Denver metro

I have a steel frame, Columbus, likely SL, with a slightly crooked
derailleur hanger and a rear fork OL measurement of 122mm. Might be
other alignment issues as well. Anyone care to throw out the name of a
shop that is truly competent in torquing old steel frames?

thanks,

sa

Dear SA,

Even if Boulder is too far away, you could ask Peter Chisholm if he
recommends any Denver shop:

Maybe the rear drop out spacing is fine, if it's a "five-speed" frame.

I have had good luck with Turin in the past. 7th and Lincoln, just
south of downtown.
