Teardrop helmet

[G]

G'day trackies!
I borrowed a teardrop helmet for my triathlon, and found it useful for the windy day it was. I would like to get one for myself. Any ideas where to get them from around Sydney?

Cheers
G

Without a Standard Australia sticker, it would get picked on by the commissaires. Not sure of the requirements for triathlons though.

The helmet has the Standards Australia sticker - I just confirmed it with T7 using their live chat.

Just purchased one. Hard to beat at that price and I'm sure I'll find a use for it some day - even if it is just to loan out.

The dread Torpedo 7 impulse buy virus strikes again!

Well, it isn't often you are presented with a standards approved TT helmet for less then $100. I imagine they'll sell out pretty fast once word gets around.

Tempted

It doesn't look that aero. Anyone got a link to a review.

[T-Bone]

Should I or Shouldn't I??? So far i've got as far as putting it in the cart, but the credit card's in the other room.....

[simon.sharwood]

If anyone does buy it, can they get Torpedo 7 to sling me some commission?

[T-Bone]

I tried, but all i could get out of them was my $10 discount for signing up one of my emails to their specials emails. Just couldn't resist for $99 shipped.

Now i'm just waiting for them to have the Limar pro104 in my size and a reasonable colour.

Sold out

[T-Bone]

Are you sure Mike, there's some there when i look.

Still sold out

I'll try a bit later as someone basket may get released

[T-Bone]

make sure you're not looking at the size selector. There's only 1 size. I ordered silver, and there's stock of the 3 colours when i open the page.

[mikesbytes]

It was telling me no stock after I pushed add to basket

Anyway got it

I wasn't selecting colour, but this time it came up as silver as the default colour.

Perhaps there are some more left if anyone else wants one

[T-Bone]

Fair enough, i didn't try adding to the basket. Good to know you got one. I was almost going to offer to order one for you.

[othy]

Seems they are down to silver & white. I ordered carbon and apparently it was shipped today. Now to find some clip-on aero bars...

[mikesbytes]

I just checked and there are still some for sale if anyone wants one

[othy]

Mine arrived this morning.

First impression - it is light. Feels lighter then my other helmet - which is probably heavy being the cheapest Met available. It has the standards sticker. I tried it on and look as ridiculous as could be expected.

Did anyone buy one?

I've just placed an order for one of the $40 road helmets. When it arrives I'll decide if its better or worse than my current race helmet and use the worse one for commuting
