$249 at Clarence Street Cyclery. I was actually looking for a Giro, but they didn't have the one I wanted and I didn't want the older one, and a Giro Selector is not going to be suitable for normal riding. Tried on the Kask and thought, damn, this is really great. The straps on it are really comfortable and it fits perfectly.mikesbytes wrote:g-boaf, how much did that one set you back?

One observation - you can't stick your glasses through the top of it securely - they will slide out easily. But the rest is good.

After having crashed it, the LBS said Specialized do a 20% off crash replacement, so a brand new S3 cost me $170il padrone wrote:New helmet is very cool..... but now it's broken

There's a cyclist who commutes along the Main Yarra Trail in the mornings who wears fake long blonde dreadlocks under his helmet or as part of his helmet (I'm pretty sure his hair is black). It looks a bit like this.Howzat wrote:
Not sure if the jet-pack is included.

Let me know if you find a place that does it. And I need the Aussie stickerAUbicycles wrote:There used to be a helmet manufacturer with a Sydney factory and as it was a vacuum formed shell over the foam core - there would be the potential to slip in a sheet with your own graphics. I only saw kids helmets in production however and it is highly likely that this has been since outsourced to Asia. The challenge asking at a small producer in asia is that you wouldn't have the Australian Safety standard sticker and guarantee.
