I feel the same way. I don't see why I won't want to ride my drop bar bikes forever. When I think about it realistically, I know that at my age, forever might not be that long. I suppose that part of my attitude might be denial of the realities of aging, but I don't see it yet.
I thought about this when I bought my Caledonia at age 71. How many more years would I want to ride a bike like that? So far, so good, and the vast majority of my riding is on the drops.
Edited to add: I'll also mention that I pay close attention to the posts of riders older than I am to get some indication of what my future on the bike might be like.
