I am not the owner of this forum, so I don't get to decide.
But I can tell you what its meaning is to me: a place where I can log in after a long and tedious day at work and exchange thoughts with like-minded people who are interested in classic and vintage bikes. The technology, the history, the stories behind them and their fitness to provide joy to their owners in the 21st century. For instance by fitting modern components. Whether you agree or approve is not the real issue. I have learned a lot from other members' projects, and they - both members and projects - have really added to my enjoying life in general and bikes in particular.
My two cents.
