Subject: New bikes - but don't use the "p" word!

After all, they are kids' bikes.  My twin girls (who have completed three kids triathlons so far) have outgrown their current bikes, so tonight I went to the LBS and put a deposit down on two bikes for Christmas.  They've already asked when they can get a "tri bike like Daddy", but until Cervelo (or another company) makes a tri bike with 20" wheels they'll have to get by with these:

Very Cool biles.  Like you, several years ago I bought my two daughters Trek Mystics for Christmas.

Cute bikes.  I envy you being able to ride with your daughters.  The best cycling I ever had was with my daughter -- it seems so many years ago -- in the Gatineaus.  She is 29 now and living in Montreal but sometimes, in the summer, she comes over for a weekend and we bike on down to the beach or the hills together, she on my old mtb and we (wife and I) on our tandem.

Machiavelo - 2008-11-05 8:32 AM Cute bikes.  I envy you being able to ride with your daughters.  The best cycling I ever had was with my daughter -- it seems so many years ago -- in the Gatineaus.  She is 29 now and living in Montreal but sometimes, in the summer, she comes over for a weekend and we bike on down to the beach or the hills together, she on my old mtb and we (wife and I) on our tandem.

It's true, I am very lucky that my girls love to ride with Dad, and even more so that they love triathlons.  I have to admit that I'm probably as excited about buying the new bikes as they'll be when they get them.  Now I just have to wait until Christmas to see the look on their faces!

After buying the bikes, I went to a graphics website I've used in the past (http://www.graphxonline.com) and I was able to order decals with the girls' names in a font that exactly matches the lettering already on the frame.  I feel foolish, but I can't wait to see the girls' faces when the see their new rides!

Very nice, your girls will love those bikes, especially with the custom graphics(nice touch).

I am looking to to move my 11yr old daughter up to a full size bike (26" wheels) this Christmas. Hopefully a 15" Rockhopper which is what my son has. We are more into riding single track than road riding though.
