Metal recycling/salvage yards are a good place. I had one near me where I could pick up virtually any vintage bike for less than $30. Got vintage 70's Chicago Schwinns, Fujis, Peugeots, Raleighs, you name it. Went there every week and found something, most for $20. They had over 300 bikes sitting in their yard all arranged in nice sections. Then, one day I went, and nothing was left. They scrapped all 300 bikes. Still looking for another yard...
