Bike shop suggestion in Eugene, OR?

A friend of mine is moving from NM to Eugene this year for school, she's an
avid runner and former avid cyclist...in Eugene she'll be looking to buy a
commuter style bike mainly to get back & forth every day that she can also
use for the odd trail/bike path ride of up to 50 miles. She'll also want a
shop that does fair service on said bike, sells her the correct size up
front, and takes her seriously even though she's not buying a Trek Madone or
a dual suspension mountain bike.

Any shop suggestions for real daily use bikes up there?

It's been a while, but Collins used to be the best place in town. May well
still be.

There's bike shops everywhere, and itinerant bicycle repair people
wander the streets, selling their services. :-)

Collins is a good choice, as is Paul's: http://www.bicycleway.com/ .
