I have been able to find good quality bikes for very reasonable prices locally. In the last year, I bought a 1982 Trek 720, a 1979 Trek 510 and a 1993 Trek 950. I paid respectively $50, $150, and $125 for the three bikes.
In Portland, those same bikes would go for $200 to $300.
There are a dozen places that one could just set up a picnic chair and take pictures of the classic steel bicycles passing by.
Local market conditions...
