I know this is cliché but don't regret a single moment because it goes by quick and then those days are gone. I bought a Peugeot road bike in 1985 and rode it into my university years and then after, along came marriage, house, kids and the bike sat in my garage for years un touched. I had a 90's Trek Mtn bike that I rode along the trails, pulling kiddo trailers, riding to the park with the kids until I darn near wore the poor bike out.
20 years later, I now have 2 modern road bikes, 4 C&V bikes (including my original Peugeot) and a replacement 90's mtn. bike and I ride them all. Your time will come.
