Wow, thanks guys for the advice.

Should I reveal my age?
Am I too..........
Can't do anything about it, can't make myself to be young again

I turned 50 this year.
Still fit and healthy, still race high level Masters.

I agree with the general attitude here, just ride the damn bike.... and be "trcksey"

BTW, I do have a "nice" bike, but I was trying out the classic bike because I've just restored it and wanted to see how its unusually tight geometry would perform at crit riding
