I'd also suggest ...
Cycle Smithy (http://cyclesmithy.com/) at 2468 1/2 North Clark Steet, Chicago, IL. 60614 for their extensive vintage bike collection
Oscar Wastyn Cycles (http://www.wastyn.com/) at 2634 W Fullerton Ave Chicago, IL 60647

Blue City Cycles is Owen Lloyd's shop. He's an occasional poster on the frame building sites. I visited his shared building space (not the retail shop) and enjoyed it. Met a student of his and a couple of the work space mates last January. Nice guy.
