An 11 year-old kid on Zipps, Giant T-Mobile, and Campy Record? Chip, is there something you want to tell us? I can only assume you disowned him for riding a whip with “no soul.”
where did you get the pic???
our Team has 4 kids all riding Giant carbon T-mobile version all campy record with zipps. one of them also has a 650 P3SL as a TT bike…
bloody lucky kids.
I thought that Francois rides a QR bike.
His seat is too low.
That was funny…
I know Chip, and he wouldnt claim this kid. He’s riding 404 clinchers and that is unacceptable.
Francois, that kid is from El Paso. That picture is from the USA Cycling National Championships at Park City.
Just wait… 14 (or 15?) year old Freestyle, who’s never won a race in his life, will post here saying that an 11-year old shouldn’t be riding a bike like that… regardless of how many races that kid has won, or that he’s ranked #5 in the nation in his age group, or that it’s at the national championships, or that he’s a good kid, or… well, you get the point.
I give the kid a “thumbs up” (although give him some tubies)!

Nice toys are exactly the last thing that kids need to do tris. What the F would an 11 year old gain from zipps that he wouldn’t gain from just running riding and swimming and having fun.
YOU DON’T NEED FLASHY TOYS TO HAVE FUN OR DO WELL AT TRI’s!!!
And people wonder why tri’s are a fringe sport in the states

Blah, blah, blah…
What the F would a 30 or 50 year old gain from zipps that he wouldn’t gain from just running riding and swimming and having fun?
kid’s from El Paso…know his dad…

Lopez, I think…
well, you know Lopez in EP is like ‘hey you know john smith, he lives in LA?’
but I emailed the LBS to ask, and it’s the kids outfit.
Francois,
I recognize the bike and jersey, you are right kid’s for El Paso.

He’s not being groomed fro tri’s. He is being groomed for Slowtwitch.

He may be a nice kid, but he is a toe pointer, and I wouldn’t have him in my home.
Are those 700c wheels? How tall do you think the kid is? Does anybody make high performance wheels and tires in the 400mm-500mm range?
If he’s doing a RR why is he wearing Sidi T1’s?
Only shoes that will fit him?
