Feels good indeed.
Wrenching bikes has a very cathartic effect. Cars tend to be stressful as hell because getting at things can be a PIA, and they are 5 X more complex. Wrenching on an old bike is just fun. Everything comes apart easily, and nothing is super complex. You definitely get a great sense of accomplishment when you pull it all apart and put it back together.... and it actually works. Kinda like a big boy lego set or something.
