Vintage friendly bike shop in Los Angeles

Does anyone know of good friendly bike shops in and around Los Angeles, the type that's been around for 30-odd years and is full of neat stuff to peruse?

Wes @ Sound Cycles on Pico might have some old stuff for you to look at. Last time I was there he had 4 sets of pristine Delta brakes in stock.

Also the Bicycle Stand in Long Beach might be worth a visit. Nicole is an amazing person!

Velo Pasadena is a great shop with a bunch of vintage parts. They have pro bikes from Lance, LeMond, Indurain and many others. They also sell a ton of vintage parts on Ebay.

And that's a very very small amount of what Hrach and his son have in the store. I've surprised they didn't show the LeMond and Lance bikes. It's an incredible shop to visit.

As a cheap grad student Velo Pasadena was great to me. Faced a steel frame for a fair price ($50?), and handled the warranty replacement of a ten year old frame purchased from a different store thousands of miles away.
