Need Bike Shop Recommendation in Dallas Area

I am doing a drop bar conversion on a old Trek 850 and going to a 135mm rear hub, consequently I need the rear triangle spread to accept the wider hub. I need a recommendation of a bike shop in the Dallas area that can do that PROPERLY.

Thanks,
Kent

A few years back the main location of Richardson Bike Mart did a good job of spreading the rear drops of a road bike frame for me.
