You know, so your kids bike can match your 15k Aethos.

It doesn't say S-WORKS on the downtube so I'm gonna have to pass.

Balance bike racing is kinda big in Japan.

Well for $350 more you can get the Specialized Hot Walk Privilege with thru axles. However, specialized has only made enough of them for 1% of their customers.

Like everything else specialized sells, not available until like April or something. Too bad they put all their collective energy into this project instead of like actually delivering a rockhopper or a sirrus

Reminds me of all the crazy stuff cannondale used to do for the shows. Remember the tri bike with like a roller skate for a front wheel? Then they built a "motorcycle"....all went bad from there

Any aero claims?

Holy cow! I had no idea and these kids handle their bikes better than I do!

I remember Litespeed made a titanium tricycle about 25 years ago.

My reply to this "bike" is in this thread from a few days ago.

In terms of over the top kids bikes and having seen it in real life is the Vanilla Tricycle, wish I had asked if my daughter could sit on it for a picture.

And bicycle pubes take on it is pretty funny

If your kid doesn’t have a 1000$ balance bike you simply don’t love them enough!

I remember 10 or so years ago an image making its way around of a little kid in a bike with lightweights.


It’s like the cycling equivalent of the Christmas time Neimann Marcus catalog.
