I moved away in 2012 after a couple years as an apartment dweller in the foothills. It didn't seem like there was much of a vintage cycling vibe in the area.
I did buy, at the same shop, Campy sidepull brakes, a Campy headset and a 27.2 mm Campy fluted single-bolt seatpost. Also picked up my Carlton frame and fork at a bikeswap there, and some other components at an additional bikeswap a short time later.
I enjoyed it there, but never had so many flats in my life... Goatheads!
