Next problem???
The worries about higher gearing can be overcome- Either mentally or by physical action of changing the ring. The bike rides good- and it looks great. Just the problem as to whether you want a new bike. Need is one of the things that we can disregard at our age. Just go for another test ride and decide. Not going to talk you into it or away from it. Just look at the bike and decide.

Yep, believe me, the first think I did was "Google" Truvativ and head out to the SRAM site.
Apparently they
made a triple, but no more.
OK, so, if I can find a 26t road ring, I'm OK. Good to know.
I'll bring that up with the shop and see what she says.
And, yes, one thing I know is that "need" doesn't even factor in to the equation
