Maybe a better question would be - how many people would have (more than mild) reservations about riding a 12 year old bike with 24,000 miles on it, regularly hitting 45+mph on descents?
High quality steel or titanium bike built of tubing that isn't light? I have no issues. My Peter Mooney (built probably from 531 tubing) has done 45+ mph many times and is now 40 years old with 50,000 miles. It is due for a new paint job this summer and I will have a good framebuilder examine it carefully after stripping.
