It pains me to say it as a guy of 48, but realistically, I doubt there are very many LBS's around here whose mechanics were even alive when you're talking about late 80's parts. And while there may still be millions of bikes around the world still using bits from that era, it's highly unlikely that they'll have seen many, if any of them, come through the average shop.
