I've been in Brad's shop - it is refreshing compared to many SA shops. 
 Best thing I can say about Brad, he gave me curb-service wheel truing one 
day when I had my daughter in s. Austin for 90 minutes with a trainer.

This coming week will be a bit insane with SXSW going on. Lots of traffic 
and crowds. Plenty of good riding however outside of the downtown circus. 
For Bobish shops:

The Peddler
CycleEast (already mentioned)
Eastside Pedal Pushers
Bicycle Sport Shop (major dealer, but has some Bobish stuff and cool 
mechanics/staff)

When in South Austin:

BikeAlot (easily the best bike shop in South Austin and Brad is a master of 
Rivish/Bobish builds).

If you are here on a friday, there is a good group of folks who show up for 
https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/coffeeoutsideatx/ . The location 
changes every week, look for the most recent post to get the weeks location.

I was in Austin last summer - took my Bike Friday with me and had a great 
time. It's a very bike-friendly city. Probably the most notable bike shop 
in town is Mellow Johnny's, which is at least partly owned by 
he-who-must-not-be-named. There is a pretty nice multi-use (bike and hike) 
trail that runs along both banks of the Colorado River -- a lot of it is 
gravelly, but a road bike will handle it fine, especially a Riv-ish type of 
bike - one could spend the better part of a day exploring that. There are 
also bike lanes all over the city. I enjoyed riding up to the capitol 
building and seeing that, and up to the University of Texas. I visited the 
LBJ Presidential Library while I was there. Took my bike everywhere. Lots 
of great places to eat. Whole damn city smells like barbeque.

Might want to hunt down Art Link if you have CR access.  Though he shut 
down his shop and retired, his home is a bike museum, and everything he has 
is for sale.
