I rebuilt my 72 Raleigh Grand Pix last year as well. I also rebuilt my very first bike which was a 1960 Bianchi road bike with all Campi components. I'm 70 and have been riding most of my life, with some time off for jobs and kids. I'm back into serious road riding now with a Trek Madone that weighs 18 lbs. There's something about being able to go fast under your own power that I love. What I don't like is riding my bike into town and carrying anything on it. I think that's where an ebike will come in handy. I'm looking for a decently priced easy to use, comfortable bike with fenders and a rack. Probably a rear hub but I'm not that far into undersrtanding them to know for sure.
