I don't mind! It's really hit or miss... I go to the San Jose flea market on at the capital drive ins, and the Santa Cruz flea market. I hit up a bike swap at Trailhead Cyclery that they have bi annually. There is a dude at the flea market who comes with a beat up moving van that usually has like 10 bikes, mostly beaters, but sometimes decent bikes. I've bought about 4 bikes from this guy, sold two so far. This is another one I picked up from him recently...
Bridgestone Cyclone (70s?), with a Ted Williams free spirit headlight (repainting the Ted Williams atm), SR cranks from a C. Itoh, and Jun handlebars. O and a Suntour Perfect casset with race gearing (14-21T ?). I put ARII rear derail., and Suntour SL front derail with the original Suntour DT shifters. Super good fit for me and it has some cool braze on features. Get lots of compliments about the paint, and picked it up for $25.


I'm starting to look for auctions and estate sales, but not much luck yet.
