    I've never seen one. But wouldn't it be better to dress him in generic gear at first, then let him choose a team affiliation later? Saves him being subjected to the horror of having the jersey of a Shimano sponsored team if he turns out to be normal and prefers Campagnolo. :wink:

    Aha that's the point! Once he sees baby pix of himself wearing CSC kit he'll be a Bjarne boy for the rest of his life. Happened to a lad I know who was dressed in Chelsea kit as a baby even thouhg he's from Leed; result: he's a lifelong Chelsea fan.

    I see. Well, at least you've picked a decent team.

    I haven't found any, yet they do exist as I have seen photos of riders' children wearing some. 'm guessing not too many shops stock them. Maybe contacting the team directly, or in CSC's case, talking to someone at Descente's cycling division might be quicker.

    http://www.ragged.co.uk is an option for children, but I don't think they do babies. They might be able to advise though!

    As a wind-up one of my club mates was presented with his very own "Domina Vacanze" baby grow outfit at one of our Xmas Dinner Awards Ceremonies a few years ago - I suspect our "Master of Ceremonies" made it himself using some iron-on black stripes!
