Oops..
Forgot one more for the SF area...
Uncle Crusty's in Redwood City 1042 Hopper Ave., Unit 3B Redwood City, CA
A small limited hours startup focused mostly on used/rebuilds - not just slap togethers - but making an effort to provide match wheels, clean frames, etc.
I've seen a few French Mixte's leave the door there...as well as some old 70's touring/road bikes that we are all familiar with.
The owner Frank Hinds does have one oddball show piece: A Huffy Aerowind? in bronze with all the original parts in almost emaculate condition. Now of course - it was department store stuff originally - but as an imitation of early Olympic style aero bikes - it does have a "novelty" to it that I think further makes this added post on-topic.
