I find them wherever. Surprisingly I've flipped quite a few CL and ebay bikes. I have a guy who calls me me every couple of weeks, if he has something thats lugged with saleable features I give him $50 for each bike. Sometimes I give him more. I paid him $125 for Raleigh Competition with full Reynolds 531 and Shimano 600 components.
Check you PM's for my 'hot spot'.
