In Rome, there are two bike shops that I visited a couple of years ago: Ex-snia is in a former chemical factory, now a big social center, and Macchia Rosa is in the Magliana neighborhood. I'm afraid I don't have live email or phone contacts for either, but at least you have an idea of where to look...
