I've started to look at some if the bikes kids in the group above mini mekon are riding. Sure, teens on carbon is to be expected (was still shocked to see a schoolkid with DI2). But pre-teens on factory wheels? After I pointed out a kid barely in double digits on Fox forks, another dad pointed out a kid on a bontrager rxl wheel set - something I couldn't stretch to on my best bike! Another kid has ksyriums. Suspicions is that it's dad's using children as dumping ground for spares as they upgrade. Are other clubs kids coaching sessions seeing similar kit? Mini mekon is likely to stick with Islabike, but kids turning up on bikes like the Felt F24 Jr race bike definitely turns heads.
