Foo - And so it begins...

Went to the LL Bean bike shop yesterday (nice shop, btw!) and my daughter saw this right away. She just had to sit on it and we were joking about getting it for her. She can reach the pedal when it's in the back position but not the forward one. I said when she can make it go and steer it, we'll get her one. No sooner did I say that then she started pushing it around with her feet, ultimately winding up in the corner of the store where the two in the box were sitting on the floor. This while the sales staff was checking inventory to see if they actually had one in stock....

(I bought it!)

Get a set of pedal blocks for the bike, she'll be in like Flynn!

awesome!!!111!!1!

she's so OCP with the matching kit & it's a fixed gear, too!

The day is mine!!

Nice.

She's got that slightly forward racing position. She's gonna be fast!

Cute shot!

That badass bike has that retro look with the black in it.

Oh and.........Jon's gonna be jealous. :p

Now you've got a fixie chick living in your house. :D

Jersey = bike color? Totally OCP!

Even looks like North Road bars there!:D When ya going to put leather bar wrap over cork on there?;)

No Helmet???? :eek:

No Helmet???? :eek:
Well, she is an SS/Fixie rider!:p

Those bars curve down, they would be mustache bars.

Well, she is an SS/Fixie rider!:p

hey hey...there are some fixie riders who wear helmets (points at self).

I think thats awesome that your daughter wants to ride. She has good taste in which type of bike to ride too. Once a fixed gear rider, always a fixed gear rider. :p BTW, she's adorable.

You need some narrower bars on there, otherwise she won't be able to do barspins. You also need an Aerospoke on the front.:)

and a Pink Deep V rear wheel(s).

No Helmet???? :eek:

Her (PINK) helmet was at home. This was an unplanned purchase - well at least this weekend. Once we get back to RI and she's riding beyond the showroom floor, she will have her helmet on!

No Helmet???? :eek:

The real question is where is the messenger bag? She's ridin' a fixie, after all... :D

A small Timbuk2 would be like large on me. I say go for it! jk. :p

Are those bars NJS certified? Seconding the Aerospoke and the Deep Vs, along with some high-flange Dura-Ace hubs and a Selle Italia Turbo.

Oh, and lose the fenders, Frederina. Pfft.

No keep the fenders. She's cool like that. And I'm her aunt. I can say keep the fenders.

For hubs I would either recommend Formula or Phil Wood. Only the best...

sorry, ms. gio-- she's the winner of the cute fixie-girl award.

:lol:

Absolutely.

sorry, ms. gio-- she's the winner of the cute fixie-girl award.

Wow, I got beat by a baby. :( She can win cutest baby fixie rider. :p I'm just kidding.

So, the question is: Clincher or sew-up?

Also, I may be mistaken, but those don't look like pink Oury grips...

c'mon! try to deny this cutie!

can't be done.

I'm not denying what so ever. The baby is absolutely adorable.

Air, that's horrible... :rolleyes:

Air, poseurs ride roadies. She's a hipster. :D

I wonder if those bars would fit my roadie? Anyways, she's too cute for words.

um. no. she is not teh poseur. she's the real deal. she'd prolly drop you on a ride around the driveway.

She's a future hipster. Just don't let her wear a white studded belt, ok?

Thankfully, she's a girl, so wearing girl's jeans won't be a problem.

Haha I know exactly what you mean x. I have a friend of mine who is a BMXer and he was wearing the same exact jeans I was wearing one day. :eek: At first, I was shocked then, I laughed. At the end of it all, I thought, "I think I looked better in them." :rolleyes:

I sure hope you did! :p

First clipless fall in

3....

2....

1....

NOW!

:eek: why would you want a little, adorable girl like her fall? tsk tsk tsk

Clipless? Pfft. You can't wear your vintage kicks with clipless. You need some clips and double straps.

I second that!

:eek: why would you want a little, adorable girl like her fall? tsk tsk tsk
I've got two of them at home. 2.5 years and 1 year old. They fall all the time and bounce right back up. It's no biggie.

Clipless!!

:lol: You make them sound as if they're bouncy balls.

Treat them like porcelain dolls and life would be one trip to the emergency room after another.

Make it no big deal and they get right back up and start riding again.

C'mon, popcicle sticks and masking tape make a great splint!

Kids bounce. Adults, not so much.

That's awesome. She can barely reach the pedals and she's already an expert at trackstands! Very cool. :)

can you get a brooks b-17 in pink????

This better?
