When you get older, you'll probably realize that you shouldn't impose your wallet on other people's judgement.

Yeah, I can't say I agree with what he did (assuming his kid won't fit it, we don't know the whole situation), but I'm not going to say something pretentious like "Just showing him the error of his ways."

Quote from that WW thread:
"My starting point was a Vitus 979 back in 1983 and below are the last 20 years of bicycles. A CF Specialized Allez Epic from 1989 which is still a nice ride albeit not very stiff at 9.8kg and my main ride for the last 10 years a Mercx AluCarbon 20th anniversary edition at 8.3kg.
I am training for a double-century ride here in Sweden on June 16th, last time I entered in 2003 I finished in 10:45, but my goal this year is to finish somewhere between 9 and 10 hours. If I don't make it, it won't be the bicycle's fault
" So your son is 16 but he started riding in 1983? I am sure there is a perfectly valid explanation here.

lol @ buying your growing son a bike with an ISP
and if he's not growing anymore, you made a poor choice in frame selection
all the components are hot (except the tires), but the presentation is poor

So while the others roll with their dork rides, that kid rolls with some Lightweights on.
Just give the kid the trophy. He wins on the wheelset/helmet alone.

The OP on weight weenies also says that it's the first bike he owns thats worthy of being on WW, JSS on the other hand claims to have other bikes on Lightweights, claims to have that crazy Look, etc. I'm going with JSS being some broke poser.
