75 and still riding the '99 carbon Trek 5200 I bought new. This is the frame, though not the same size or components, that Lance won his first Tour on. What I really like about this particular race bike is that it's so easy to ride. It goes where it's pointed, never has a wobble, corners and accelerates beautifully. I wonder if the current crop is still like this, really easy to ride? The aggressive geometry is fine. The bike hasn't changed in 20 years and neither have I, except power isn't what it was, nor probably is endurance, but the bike doesn't care.
