Requesting clarification: I am back in the saddle since October and still riding my RB-1 (and last week, entered my first race since, uh, a long time ago -- finished, but, could not stay with pack...yet)...no potbelly, but not lean and mean either...I see that a company that sponsors some of my research is also sponsoring a Pro-Am cycling team...I'm thinking about getting the uniform because I like the sponsor, some of the team folk live near where I grew up and because their price for Capo clothing is great (and the uniform looks awesome -- understated but cool, which is what I like)...would wearing such clothing make me part of the Fred family tree? In addition, would caring what you think impact my status?
