Kevin - go pay a visit to the Bicycle Stand on Broadway in Long Beach. They can help you. They specialize in vintage and Evan is as knowledgeable as anyone. Also, Bicycle Tree in Santa Ana is a co-op that has a small selection of bikes.
Lastly, feel free to show up for the monthly Retro Velo ride on the first Sunday of each Month - ride starts gathering at 10:30 at the Aquatic Center in Pasadena. The ride is 23 miles but the expertise of the group can help you, as well as many members have extra bikes they are interested in selling.
Best of luck
