Robert,

I'm sorry to say, no. Not for vintage stuff anyways. Well, maybe Ace Cycles on Broadway. The owner is Lorne "Ace" Atkinson, who was a great rider back in the 50s and is still around but isn't seen much anymore. His daughter and her husband run the shop now and they have a few of Lorne's bikes on display. I have '72 Cinelli SC that still has the original Ace Cycles decal on it. I bought it from the first owner who bought it there new.

If you want to go for a vintage bike ride, let me know. I'm sure we can find a bike for you. A group of us meet every Saturday morning on Commercial Drive for coffee and a ride (when it's not raining). The pace is fairly relaxed.
