17 yo you would think you were pretty wack for pushing 40 and still riding the same old bike. 40 yo you would look at 17 yo you's haircut and wonder what you were thinking.

Since I'm in the same neighborhood agewise, I've found raising the quill stem on my roadbike to be more comfortable. I've also thought changing to a shorter stem would help me sit upright just a bit more. And that in-line cross levers would mean I could ride on the tops instead of the hoods and still brake if I had too.
