i bought a bell sweep R, the best they (bell) make. nashbar had it on sale and i just got it. uber comfy, tons of air vents to keep my head cooler. and a nice CSC red.

You could use that on Halloween as part of a "Human Torch" costume.

They call him "Heat Miser"... he's hot to the touch....

Slick helmet, although I always preferred the Posties blue scheme. How much?

cheapie · 07-27-2005, 04:08 PM

just $89. i got it on sale from nashbar. my LBS (local bike shop) for about $130 or so. i'm happy.

yeah...the Giro Atmos is pretty sweet. those are about $150 on sale.

of course, you could pick up a Atmos Lone Star 6 Gold Premium Edition for a mere $299.

DankNstickY · 07-27-2005, 04:33 PM

sorry but i dont appreciate that.

Thesifer · 07-27-2005, 04:55 PM

So uhmm.. Its great for looks.. but you spend that much on a helmet.. you're gonna be pissed when you fall down and damage it

.. Does it protect 259$ better than a 40$ helmet?

cheapie · 07-27-2005, 06:34 PM

nope. that's why i didn't spend $245! lol. but it is lighter and has far better air flow to keep my head cool than my other helmet.

eSDee · 07-27-2005, 06:58 PM

Pretty cool looking.

nickel · 07-27-2005, 07:29 PM

if it were green you could be the GREEN GOBLIN!

zippyjuan · 07-27-2005, 08:09 PM

Sweet lid Cheepie! I am still looking for a new one.

cheapie · 07-27-2005, 08:52 PM

Great, an $89 helmet to protect a $2 head.

Semi-Ghey..combine those with the slick tight pants that the bikers wear and I would be afraid to stand in front of you facing the other way.
j/k

BTW, why does cheapie's helmet look like 3 helmets stacked on top of one another?
