I roll my vintage bikes into the LBS I work at all the time. Make a point of keeping it out front where anybody can see it.
some look it over say nothing. Others make small talk but their interest is mostly towards the latest and greatest.
Sometimes I get to spin a bike yarn about that particular bike.
Today was a lucky day, one of those that showed keen interest dropped off an old 60's Rudge for me to have.
Can't wait till I put it into the rotation.
