Can I borrow your helmet? - London Fixed-gear and Single-speed

roxy · 30th January 2008

I'd like to borrow a black/ish aero helmet for a few days preferably this Saturday.
Does anyone have one?
It's ok if it's broken or old or whatever.
If you have one that's not black that I could paint that'd work to.

Anyone? Help please.

aren't they fairings, not helmets?? which were outlawed by most cycling governing body's as they don't protect during a crash.

jonny · 30th January 2008

a friend has a plain brown one, made by catlike i think. but yeah, it is just fairing not a helmet. let me know if it's any good to ya.

plingboot · 30th January 2008

the two in the pics are helmets (well, twat hats to give them their correct name) - rather than just fairings - i think uci regs require that they should all now offer some level of crash protection.

as an aside planet-x are flogging giro advantage twat hats for half price at the moment - £50 - including a rather nice matt black version

Is it "aero-style"? Does it look like a helmet? It doesn't have to protect me from anything

The rules were changed. Now all aero helmets used are actually helmets rather than just aero shells.
Hence the old style 'hair covers' should be 'cheap cheap cheap'. Club TTs here don't seem to give a rats about hats though.

it is a full-on aero piece of kit roxy - more aero than the ones in your original post.

roxy · 30th January 2008

wheeeeee! yeah! will you whisper me your digits? I'll call you this evening and arrange pick up if that's ok?

clipless pedals and an aero helmet all in one week....all you need now is a skinsuit and we'll have lost you to the 'other' side for good....:(

trampsparadise · 30th January 2008

She's already asked me to look around work for lycra (or spandex)...

big daddy wayne · 30th January 2008

like one of these?

roxy · 30th January 2008

Dude! I need that! You think I'm joking but I'm not. What would that item of clothing be called? I need it in black. See other thread... Ha!

big daddy wayne · 30th January 2008

roxy - is it for a photoshoot? i know one of the guys at sigma sports and i could ask him about borrowing a trisuit or assos bodysuit

roxy · 30th January 2008

The assos one isn't going to work. The main thing is really black or dark brown and the zipper down the front.
Any help would be super appreciated!

big daddy wayne · 30th January 2008

northwave do this one

roxy · 30th January 2008

That's pretty bad-ass!!

big daddy wayne · 30th January 2008

do you want me to give him a ring and see if you can borrow it from the shop?

roxy · 30th January 2008

yes please, that'd be fantastic

big daddy wayne · 30th January 2008

i'll see if i can sort out the aero helmet as well

Scrapper · 30th January 2008

I think there are some in one of the random stuff boxes at work i will show mike tomorrow.
