At 83, back in 1983, my grandmother was suffering from cataracts. When the doctor suggested surgery she balked at the price.
"Why should I spend the money? How long will I be around to justify such a sum?"
She lived to 100.
Buy the bike. If you find yourself unable to ride it somewhere down the road, you can sell it.
