Which harbor in Southern California?
It’s nice to hear there’s an appreciation for vintage bikes. I am not at a level that would justify a pricy, modern bike with all the fancy components, so the vintage bikes are a perfect fit. Of course I’m willing to spend some money within reason. I’ve noticed some bikes are priced crazy while others are reasonable and sometimes you even spot a killer deal. It’s all about timing.

A year ago most folks didn't pay attention for the most part , just the occasional comment . I have noticed that some are asking high prices for average vintage bikes now. I don't know how many are selling though. There are still deals here in Southern California but not as many as a few years ago.
