"Convents"? Are you talking about a nun who likes tools? What's her shop look like? Is it bîtchin'?
Regarding the elderly comment but did you see the demographics of this forum after a recent poll or the obvious ages of the participants in the C&V sub thread or the collapse of old bikes values because of a lack of demand.
It shouldn't be news to anyone that older men love talking about and restoring old bikes that work as well today (or better) than they did 40+ years ago. Generally speaking, young people aren't into "forums" or restoration of something the industry can't profit from.
My question:
what would Ayn Rand think? Wouldn't she say, your highest moral purpose is following your own individual passions? Or would she be constantly criticizing older folks for being so self reliant?
