A couple of possibilities:

o If you're quick, the Cycle Map layer on osm.org might show the old 
version.  There are also many other OSM-based online maps, many of which 
don't update as quickly as the osm.org "standard" map.

o A local server using a small rendering database set up as per 
http://switch2osm.org/serving-tiles/ would also work, if you don't apply 
updates to it.

o Depending on what and where you're interested in, 
http://map.4x4falcon.com/ may also work (that's the FOSM map - mostly 
OSM data pre-licence change, with some FOSM-specific edits in some 
areas, and some slight rendering changes).

Cheers,

Andy
