Vintage bikes...
I really want to find an old Peugeot, Motobecane, or other old road bike in the Bay Area. Anyone know of a shop that deals in classic bikes? Or of a place that I should start looking? Flea markets etc? I've had little luck finding the things, and craigslist is full of super overpriced stuff...
Thanks!
Thanks!

I haven't been there but there's a shop in Berkeley that has older bikes: https://www.teamkarim.com/
College Cyclery in Sacramento has a about 20 or so old road bikes. The old Raleigh sign outside that shop looks cool.
Of course you get retail type prices in the shops. If cost is an issue then keep hunting. You'll see lower prices at flea markets, thrift stores and garage sales.
I saw a Styer yesterday in the Bay Area at a little thrift shack. Looked ok. $89.00 was the price. Too much for my wallet.

In SF, there's the Bike Kitchen-1256 Mission St, possibly a decent place to look for the overlooked.
