Online Sources for older, classic, low-end & vintage parts?
I still have several Cycle Goods' The Handbook of Cycl-ology bike catalogs, the oldest a ninth edition from 1980. Back then I could buy every bolt, nut, washer, and knueckist valve, from any bike known to Earth-kind, and the prices weren't bad at all. There were other companies back then selling parts and accessories for the average Joe and Jill (and little Tyke). Obviously, times have changed, and most have moved on to the new stuff or gone kaput.
As my bikes and general interests in cycling are classic and vintage based, I'm finding reasonably priced, reliable purchasing sources scarce. I'm speaking outside of eBay and Amazon, of course. So who has some links for sites and stores that cater to older, classic, low-end and vintage parts, at less than Tiffany prices? I'm especially hopeful to hear from those who have used their recommendation(s) and why they feel their offering(s) are worth passing on. TIA!
