Where do we begin? The kid with the aero helmet 5 sizes too big is cheating already being over the line before the start. His race number is GIGANTIC. The girl next to him is racing in a skirt? The kid with the aero helmet appears to be riding some sort of hybrid of a BMX, mountain, road and cross bike.
Great shot!

Na, the little girls helmet looks correct except for the extreme tilt forward : )

The kid in the aero helmet is using mom/dads wheelset, too. Those appear to be Lightweights and cost a couple grand per set.

Those are Lightweight wheels, the wheelset alone prob cost more than my entire tri bike.

No, I don't think so but that helmet certainly doesn't fit worth a darn does it.

I think the parents must have read the argument on whether or not to use an aero helmet for an IM distance ride. Some people's aruments were: "The slower you go, the more you have to gain from using an aero helmet."

It's a KirkLee bicycle. A really cool custom carbon bike company in Austin.

Check out the photo gallery for more shots of this bike.

X2 - he's got more money in wheels than I have in several bikes! Just jealous I guess.

If that kid didn't win that race, it'd be embarassing

I bet more than that... I don't see any 650c wheels on lightweight's website - custom.

Di2 as well with an extra set of button shifters on the basebar and a third brake lever.

If I were a kid I would be jealous.

Johnny learned at an early age that the engine mattered more than the gear as Susy flew by him with her skirt flowing behind her.

I thought you were supposed to use a disc no matter what?!

"the trick is to keep losing weight until your friends and family ask you if you've been sick. then you know you're within 10 pounds. if they start whispering to each other, wondering if you've got cancer or aids, you're within 5. when they actually do an intervention, you're at race weight." - Slowman
