A lot of rock and roll musicians had the same attitude. Some of them got old, and are still enjoying life.

39 x 26 was my cutoff, and I did the Markleeville Death ride in my late 20's with that.

35 lbs later and, er, a few decades later, I still enjoy riding. A 25 gear inch low end keeps me going up the same hills, just slower.

Hopefully you'll get there someday.
