As winter sets in, tulips under the snow are getting ready to push through and so, it seems, are young cyclists all around the world. In the past few months, we have seen a tremendous upsurge in interest in our bike for serious young athletes. From Malta to Japan. From the UK to the US. Young athletes are champing at the bit for the snow to melt, the frost to loosen its grip and get their feet in the clips. In response to this, we have begun a series of features on young riders with the PRO Interviews - Junior Athletes spotlight. We hope to present a few of these, so stay tuned. 
What makes the ONE so special? It can be pretty difficult to be taken seriously when you are young. You don't have as much money to spend on equipment. There aren't as many races - and when you do compete, many adults brush off any accomplishments. Here at Pro-Lite, we remember what it was like to be a young rider. We remember having to stand up to pedal because the seat wouldn't go low enough. We remember how difficult it was to find a bike that FIT. We remember how irritating it was to pedal around town on a plastic bike or some ancient solid steel behemoth handed down from parents/cousins/grandparents/pre-Neolithic ancestors about that funky new discovery called the 'WHEEL'. Our answer to these frustrations is a real quality bike. It features geometry that FITS younger riders. It sports hand-built, high quality wheels that go through the SAME stringent quality control that ALL of our wheels face. It has components matched both to the size of the bike and to meet current technology. Like all of the bikes made here at Pro-Lite, it has been designed thoughtfully by experienced professional racers with scrutiny on every part. It is affordable, but not "cheap". Most importantly though, it is race quality. For parents and youngsters alike, we hope you enjoy reading about youth in other countries.
