Maybe 30.

We'll see when we get there.

Look, son, now that all your Fred peers have come forth and filled your head with all that politically correct crap, here's the deal.

It's ok to admire LA, everybody does. But in road cycling the last thing you want to do is give the impression you're soft, weak. That's the impression you'll be giving if you wear a US Postal or Discovery jersey.

It just shouts out to the road biking community "Hey Everybody, I'm a Groupie, I Have No Individuality, No Self-Respect, No Self-Determination Other Than To Go Out And Imitate A Superstar As Closely As I Can".

Sure it's a nice design. Very pretty. I like it too. But there are dozens and scores of nice designs out there. Why do you want to wear one that says "Look Everybody, I'm An LA Groupie"? Eeeeeeww YUK!!
