I've had this for a while now ...and love it  I thought it was about time I uprated my helmet ..and would have bought one of the new Smith jobbies ...if I could have found a stockist .. Instead I bought this below ...which I could have had for £20.00 less through Chain Reaction if I hadn't been fussed about colours...but spent the extra purely to compliment my back pack...  I'm really concerned that through the influences of this forum that I might have the first stages of bike tartishness ... Is there any help available out there? |

The colours match extremely well though!
Also excellent helmet I have had one for 2 years now and love it. Wee bit warm but really sturdy.

Best fitting helmet and comfiest I've ever had but it still leaves red pressure marks around the forehead for hours afterwards, no I don't have it too tight.
The bells pretty comfy but moves around a bit more when riding the choppy stuff which can be a bit off putting.
Nice colour coordination by the way but does the blue match the new bike?
I just saw the carbon Rs Whyte t130 in Chevins Skipton and it's a thing of beauty, the frame looks really solid, the tubing is on the massive side. The eagle cassette just fits inside the wheel circumference lol.

C'mon John ...an apprentice bike tart I might be ..but I'm not going to make that basic mistake on day one .... Of course the colour matches the bike ..if you look at the rebound dial on the top of the fork stanchion ..it's a perfect match. That was the deal clincher when buying the bike ...lol  |

Thats why your only an apprentice bike tart, a proper bike tart would have sold all their existing gear and replaced it with all things "Magenta"  |

I think people who match things with their bikes a bit sad!?
But that's just because I can't get gear in a shiny Ti colour...!lol
