Working on your bike with a bunch of guys that are also working on their own bikes. Having a beer. Hanging out. Helping each other work on bikes. Going for a ride afterward.
It's about building our own little culture of tinkering with our old bikes - the camaraderie that is cemented once we overcome a hurdle - and celebrating each tiny victory along the way.
Owning and riding a vintage bike necessarily means working on it. Wrenching on that bike in good company is a win/win.
