Renaissance Cycle was the first online vintage store I ever discovered - way back in '95 while stationed in London. Never did any business with them, but loved to look at the old stuff (at the very beginning of my collecting days) - and they did have a small selection of "refurbished" parts which inspired me to give that a go, too. After I learned to strip and polish, drilling followed - all thanks to Renaissance Cycle's website.
The good ol' days
