Modern frames are likely more aggressive but either way, it's you that is out of practice.

Im a 54 year old Clydesdale, and I do it all the time. I do admit that the road bike is a bit more testy than my city rode for handsfree riding. But nothing gets you back to being a kid and remembering why you love cycling than riding this way.
