Was just there yesterday...

Frank has quite a few on-topic gems...the latest being an Italian road piece from the late 70s, possibly early 80s.

Part of the head badge says "Parigi"...

Also, I mentioned Moes's earlier in Oregon...what's nice about his shop is that

one side has a runabout about 6' short of the ceiling on which he displays his classics bike - including a nicely done Paramount if memory serves me correctly.
