...I cannot imagine how particular must be your tastes in old bikes, if you live in San Francisco, and cannot find something that will appeal to you as a rider, on the local Craigslist. When I first arrived in NorCal, over in Merced, I thought I must have died and gone to old bike heaven. And Merced is waaaay out on the fringes of the action here. I don't think I've been able to look at the Bay Area Craigslist once, in the past ten or fiteen years, when I didn't find something both interesting, pretty high quality, and my size.
But a lot of it is not without needing some restoration and/or maintenance.
