I would think Paul's in Eugene would be able to hook you up.

Up in Portland, there's a lot of options. Mike Manning is one not
mentioned yet - he does Wobble Naught and the Specialized Body
Geometry fit, and also video analysis.

Over the past four years I've tried three people. Michael Sylvester
(great, but felt more art than science), someone at Bike Gallery
(sorry forgot who, but they did a pretty good job), and Seth Hosmer
(great).

I liked Seth best because he did all the normal fit things I'd gotten
from others but also offered a bit more using both video playback (and
some software to check your leg extension angles, etc) and he uses a
Serrota fit bike. I was thinking about getting a custom frame and
getting to try out any position imaginable instantly on the fit bike
was a godsend.

Without the fit bike, there's often a ten minute lag between changing
stem length/height on your own bike and it's tough to compare and
remember positions. On the fit bike, in a matter of seconds you can
test out a stem 10mm higher or lower, or longer, or shorter. You can
just ride and ride while trying out different positions until you feel
completely and totally comfortable.

Even if you already have a new frame, you could use the fit bike
measurements to see what kinds of stem/seat heights could get you
closest to optimal.
