Hi Mark, Many, like myself, ride our vintage bikes. I'm a bit more careful about banging them into things that might chip, scratch or break the frame or components but beyond that I ride my bikes just like any other person. A good vintage bike is a pleasure not only to look at but to ride as well. It is also nice to have others looking at the bike and asking questions. A rolling exhibit of the sport's past.
