At 64, I haven't lowered my saddles or tilted then nose down, but I have replaced some of my longer stems with 1 cm shorter versions, and I've gone from older handlebars with 85-90mm reach and 140mm drop to ones with 75mm reach and 120mm drop. They're still at the same height as before, though, and I find I can use the drops comfortably for longer.
