53!"Your still wet behind the ears" as they used to say.lol.I wish I could remember 53.There are alot of good people here,young and old.There is also the 50 and over forum here that is good.Hope you get back to restoring the old bike the best you can and take it for a few miles.I still have my first "road bike".A 1969 schwinn Varsity.I have many bikes,too many to count but when I ride the old Varsity it brings me back to my young days and a lot of memories when my wife and i would ride together.Try it ,you'll know what I'm talkin about.
