I just liked the symmetry of having a 6.5 bike for my 65th birthday and it was an assertive step towards doing my own thing instead of waiting for the approval of others. Normally I am very much a make do with what you have and be grateful sort of person. Maybe its al;l about finally allowing yourself to become the person you would lkie to be instead of being the one others see you as.
Just my 2 bits.
