If you don't have any issues with it, then it's good enough. Just note that if you break a rail or you feel your saddle bottom out often on the seat post when you hit bumps, then you might want to address that issue by getting a seat post with a larger amount of setback. Mine on a previous bike was bottoming out when I had the saddle all the way forward or clamp all the way to the rear. Never broken a rail myself, I've just heard it can happen. And that just seems a likely reason to me.
I get to meet 65 in March of this year. I'm still looking for those Golden Years that was talked of long ago. I guess that's just a myth! <grin>
