This is just egregious.

Some parents really spoil their kids.

I expect he is a nightmare.

eh? It’s a competition prize?

kids draws bike for competition, wins, gets bike

Did you even read the article?

lol at the OP. Thread of the year

Nothing wrong with this, he’s won a comp, that’s great.

However he’s going to grow out of that in 3-4 years max, that’ll be absolutely gutting for him!

goddamn rich kids with their pens and paper

Shame face.

Must be rich to have working colour pens and be able to afford a stamp

Threads that make a point expecting a massive reaction from everyone that doesn’t materialise or go the other way against the op’s crazy wild point are in my top 3 favourite threads

Anyone else need to google the meaning of “egregious”? Damned forum members with their excessive knowledge of the english language!

Well, I for one am going to thank the OP for (badly) linking to such a heartwarming story.
Brilliant… and the kid’s paint job design is superb.
Made my week that
Egregious little bastard.
😀

Maybe this is the link the OP meant?

Especially when they realise too late to do a stealth edit.

Egregious = very friendly and sociable

Loved the vid at the end – fully deserved!

I just assumed that, like every other word on here, it was predictive text spellchecking mayhem!

That’s well cool

Who’s the melonfarmer now, eh?

Well done to the OP for his accidental linking to an ace story. Kudos to the young lad for imagining a really cool looking bike. I’d definitely ride one in my size.

Shame abounds!

Fair play to the wee man, bet that rig gets more use than most of the swanky custom builds posted on here.

Love the melon farmer story as well, some great ‘on the fly’ parental censorship there.

When I was a kid all we had for arts and crafts was old chip wrappers and twigs.

I was a man before I knew what a watermelon was.

On that article, it is heartwarming that the comment “**** off Specialized” has 433 upvotes.

LOL. Reminds me of the First Look article they did re the Look Trailroc pedals that were yesterday’s STW prize

Top comment is “Incredible, they literally got everything wrong”. Nothing more to be said.

Don’t worry it’s just meretricious persiflage. 🙂

Yet they still come up with a sentence as horribly unpleasant as

This is just egregious.

I’d lay odds they say myself instead of me or I.

Kid gets a free bike for a few drawings in a competition.
Is super-chuffed with it.
Rides the crap out of it, cementing MTB as his lifelong hobby.
Grows up and becomes too big for it.
Bike gets retired and replaced with a bigger bike.
Bike can then be hung upon the garage/shed/living room wall as a reminder of all the fun and joy it had brought him.
If the kid is struggling for funds for the next bike the components can be sold or moved onto a new frame, keeping the handpainted frame.
Kid is now an adult and still riding bikes.

Struggling to see the downside to this story!

It’s the accompanying custom trail hound he’s won ended up mellon collie

Shhh..don’t anyone tell OP about the Meek kids.

If anyone clicked on this thread and is still looking for something to become outraged about something, then you can turn this ‘off the cuff’ comment into a sensationalist headline 😉

Unfortunately, Red Bull can’t market to kids

Headline: PinkBike calls for advertising caffeinated sugar-laden sports drinks to kids!!!

This is just egregious.

So is your ability to read.

They don’t even pay road tax!

That paint job is epic.

The back story is so odd no wonder he won.

It is pretty cool. And a cool story – I can absolutely see why he won. OP – you didn’t read it, did you?

That is awesome, kid looks chuffed too.

Why doesn’t the link work, is it a competition thing between STW and Pinkbike?

The link was broken by egregious melon farmers who are unhappy at their vocation being associated with depictions of terrorism.
