Odd -- all the shops around here in ABQ, Duke City, Land of Enchantment, NM, at least those I frequent, have a good supply of parts and accessories, not to mention bikes. They may not have what *I* want, but they will have that XT rd, those M520s, plenty of different chains, Ultegra cranks, whatever headsets they are using these days and so forth. And at least a few will have nice steel stuff like Salsa, Surly and all-dressed city bikes. And all are more than happy to order weird things for me like 16 t Miche outer cogs, Shimano dynohubs, 7 speed cassettes (Fat Tire did this), Schwalbes (Fat Tire got me my 622 Kojaks and even as we speak have Pasela 32s in stock), Sun Rhyno Lite rims (forget who did this -- perhaps High Desert), and clamp-on-bottle cage mounts for NOS down tubes (High Desert). Cycle Cave and the one whose name I forget at the corner of Menaul and and and which my brother and I happened by last Sat (I had not dropped in for almost 20 years) has drawers full of 3 speed parts, as does Cycle Cave (and they know what to do with them). And Bike Coop will build a 36 hole hub into a 28 hole rim. Even the BMX/family bike store nearest me is happy to order 7 speed cassettes and has a very nice display of old veddy English 3 speed roadsters (which they will not sell).
