Velo Culture in La Jolla has lots of old stuff - vintages steel frames and complete bikes. I don't know what their prices are. Pacific Coast Cycles in Oceanside has an interesting assortment of vintage bikes too.

craigslist has been good to me.. Just picked up a Merckx corsa extra 2 weeks ago that came with record 10 and some nice Campy Eurus wheels.. A little bit of old and new..

I look on ebay but only will buy local and if the seller allows me to pick up..

Reseda Bicycles has quite a few NOS parts including frames, but the price tags are premium. Not sure if you can talk them down or not.

You can put out feelers in C & V. We love people who appreciate good vintage bikes.

Unless you have evil plans on removing all the braze ons :twitchy: .
