This unique bike is for a four-year-old. Pretty cool, huh?

Now there is someone that is addicted to cycling. Love it. I reckon you could sell it on ebay for more than it cost. One of a kind. I'd just change the name Trek to Pinarello or something. Anything Armstrong is connected to won't be too popular soon.

Fit looks wrong for a 4 YO. Probably 6 to 8. My 4 YO is on a 14" wheel and he would love this bike. He is 3-4 years from geting my 1970's kids Gitane 3-speed racer that is still in my mother's garage. (sorry no kids Felt for him).

What 4 year old needs a race bike?!?! Let alone a TT bike. I think I feel sorry for the kid who's getting it.

Sorry? i am jealous. My 8 year old son has started watching races with me recently and as a result now wants to ride his bike more.

he would faint if he saw that. unfortunately he is not getting a TT bike before me.

interesting responses - partilcularly if you compare them to last year's kids race thread with the kid on lightweights :D
 
I think its cool that the market for kids is getting better but honestly what kid needs an AERO bike lol! Heck 99% of triathletes are set up in such a poor manner that their 'aero' bike is just losing them wattages due to the crazy seat angles that will have them with extra trashed legs when it comes time to run.

When I was 8, I got to learn to ride a bike. It was a rusty blue INDI 500 and I rode it till it literally failed at the head tube. Then I got a yellow one, it was heavy but strong and held up for years.

Last thing we need is 6 year olds asking for a new bike cos this years model is 12.5% laterally stiffer in the BB and 34 grams lighter due to hollow carbon tips in the rear stay..
