I'm 62, a dyed in the wool roadie (literally) with a fleet of drop bar road bikes. OP, I'm younger than you and I've already stopped worrying about the future. Buy/ride the bike that fits you and your style of riding right now, then go ride the hell out of it. When and if the time comes to buy/ride something else, do it. As you and most of us that have lived on this earth for more than six decades, worry is a waste of time and time is precious.
