Your Colnago sounds like a sweet bike.

I still like my road bikes, and put quite a few miles on the bike. My brother who is 2 1/2 years older than me has been complaining that his old Raleigh just isn't as comfortable as it once was, but I don't think he is doing even 50 miles a month. He has adopted Dad's Torpado with the ancient Brook's saddle, and upright moustache bars, and I think is doing ok with that bike.

If you are doing well on the trainer, then I'd keep the Colnago for a while and see how it feels.

But, the answer will depend on what kind of riding you have planned. If you are planning, say 10 miles around the park, then you might do well with a Hybrid, or something different.

On the other hand, if you are anticipating to 20 or 30 mile rides regularly, and tossing in a few century rides, then I'd keep the Colnago.

There are quite a few riders doing Century rides, Randonneur Events, & etc, who are 50+, 60+, or even 70+.
