I’m a bit of a traditionalist with a little bit of “hippie” rebellion mixed in. I try to keep everything in order as far as , tire label adjacent to valve stem, wheels laced correctly(even though I’m no expert), skewer “lever on the left”, cables behind bars, period correct clothing when possible, drive side photos, yea long list. It is tough being me. I do wear weird socks as some will attest., and I’ve been known to violate my own rules when feeling rebellious. There is a saying on the CR list “just ride the bloody bike”, I love it. I have been riding with a few guys from my neighborhood and they are modern bike guys. They don’t really understand , they take their bikes in for service , and now that I’m riding with them, one of the guys is talking about building a bike from the frame out. When I first started riding with them he was surprised that I build/rebuild my own bikes.
