Yes, it's great in C&V community. I have never been involved with a group as supportive and enthusiastic as what we have in this forum.
Just hope it some way carries over to the next generation of C&Vers.
My nephew is an avid cyclist. As I was in my younger days, but I noticed that his attachment to his bikes is much different to what mine was. He kinda goes through bikes like he goes through phones. Really just disposable items that you forget or quickly sell off once a new one gets his interest and it seems like a lot of his cyclist friends are similar. Maybe it's because. these days, they see things made with composites and plastics, as much less than permanent fixtures in their lives. I just don't see my nephew developing interest in his old bikes in the future or any interest in any of my C&V bikes at all. He never gave my bikes any second looks nor ask me anything about them. I suspect he just sees them as "Geezer", boat anchor bikes at best, and I understand, considering the modern cycling culture he grew up in.
So,.......let's just enjoy ourselves with our old bikes and continue to support each other.....as I think, we are all that will be left, when it comes to C&V cycling and collecting, as we know it!.....kinda like the "Hub Nuts" of cycling.....
