In Pittsburgh, Kraynick's bike shop has been a beloved institution for 
70+ years. The place is famous for helping customers work on their own 
bikes, plus for having almost any conceivable component lying around 
somewhere. When I arrived, two guys were on the front sidewalk with 
quite nice bikes - one a fixie - mounted in the shop's loaner workstands.

The shop is crammed into a narrow three or four story building. There 
are hundreds of bikes and millions of parts in heavy disarray. Bikes and 
components range from 1950s kids' bikes to some pretty high end, if not 
bleeding edge, items. Note the Kestrel and Pinarello in this photo:

Everything is piled, scattered and at best loosely "organized." It's an 
adventure - as in, will I be injured? - climbing cluttered and unguarded 
stairs to the upper floors where the "good stuff" lurks, buried among 
much other stuff:

Anyone interested in a classic Campy took kit, 99% complete? It's for sale:
