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 http://weightweenies.starbike.com/fo...icon_smile.gif"

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.

To bad they are cheating and starting across the line. ;)

But if that was my bike, that would be AWESOME!!

Looks like the bike is Di2 equipped as well. Meh if I had a kid interested in cycling, I'd do the same... except no dorky TT helmet.

if i had the money to burn, i would put my kid on that bike purely for my own amusement. It's like dressing toddlers in little suits.

You realise the kid with the LWs is photoshopped, right?

Or little dresses and tiaras decked to the 9s with makeup. I don't know. Doesn't exactly seem fair. I'd be surprised if there weren't gear limitations. This is called vicariously living through your child.

What made you draw that conclusion? All the telltale signs that it has been photoshopped are absent from the photo.

The bike is a KirkLee kids bike that you can purchase with the lightweights and di2

I stand corrected. From the blurring by the rear wheel and the sheer improbability of it, I was sure I was right, but I guess not. Bloody hell! In fact, here it is:

It's a one off.
