Last year in Italy, I visited an amazing bike shop that had over 20 high-end retro bikes in storage!
Bikes include a Yeti FRO, Diamond Back Ti and the original Manitou full suspension bike.
From memory they also had a two AMP bikes with linkage forks (B3 and B4 I think), a Yo Eddy and a Neon green Funk with elevated chain stays.
The also had one of Richard Cunningham's Mantis / Kestrel bikes circa 1990.
One large caveat: the owner did not want to sell any of them; even through they were stored in the rafters and not even on display.
If you ever visit Italy, put this one on your agenda:
F.lli Scavezzon
Via Del Commercia 20
Spinea,
30038
PH: +39 41 54 11 318

The store is owned by three brothers who are really friendly. Two of them speak near perfect English too.
If you do go - please let me know how you get on.
