Everyone points the finger at "hipsters" <chuckle>. I admit to seeing many vintage 3 speeds in Portland tagged on Craigslist with the word "tweed", assumingly directed towards someone who would enter tweed into a CL search bar and then buy an overpriced bicycle just to look good for a twice a year costume party. Of course, these 3 speeds seem to be the ones listed for $300 or so. They do languish a long time at that price- unless the tweed ride is around he corner. However, I've seen several 60 and 70s Raleigh Sports over the past couple months that appeared to be in great condition in the $70 to $90 range. They go fast. Be patient and check your local CL obsessively, and I think you can find what you are looking for. I obtained a great Sports for $80 in this manner.
