Good resource in Boston area for classic/vintage

Here visiting for the weekend from DC, and didn't know if there was a place like classic rendezvous,...

Also any rec for a commuter-friendly non-rodie store would be good too, been to Harris cyclery, love that place... Is there any place I just can't leave Boston without seeing?

Thanks

You're in a hotbed for great deals on vintage bikes. Check Craigslist Boston! I bet you won't go back home empty handed! :-)

Menotomy Vintage Bikes, aka Cambridge Vintage Bicycles, AKA oldroads.com, is in the basement of an antique-shop-mall near the Lechmere T station. Definitely worth a swing by; call them first, to see if they'll be there.

try Woody's Cyclery out in Middleton. Woody sells really nice bikes but is also a huge vintage buff. https://woodyscyclery.com/
