Hi: I'm visiting my son in Hamilton ON in April and we wanted to pick up a late 80s or early 90s mountain bike. So far, I've been able to find just one shop... Backpeddling (http://www.backpeddling.com/index.htm) in Guelph.

Does anyone know of any bike shops or bike coops that sell older mountain bikes?

Backpeddling is an amazing shop, period. I know for a fact that there are no shops to rival it in Toronto or Hamilton.

However, there's Parts Unknown in Kensington Market, which is good for a browse.

Thanks, I think we'll give Backpeddling a visit. My son is in Hamilton and I would prefer to avoid the long drive to Toronto.
From the web site, sounds like they have a huge inventory so I'm sure I'll find something...

Check out MACycle Co-op, it is located at McMaster University. Might want to check to make sure they are open before you are driving out. As it is student-run, the summertime hours may be quite short.
