It is the little changes which will make the biggest changes.
Thanks a lot for sharing!

Merckx. We went for awesome rides in Marin. I personally witnessed @frank’s FMBs cause a large rock to levitate in the air while we rode up RR Grade. To paraphrase what Benjamin Franklin said about beer, the roads Marin are proof that the Gods of Mt. Velomis want us both to be happy and to suffer “” yet all we can talk about is helmets. It is my fault for being so coy above; here is Darth inspecting @frank’s headgear:

Nothing to see here, move right along.

Frank, forget Darth!  How about coming up to Toronto to meet Mayor Ford and sign some books,EH??

AWESOME QUOTE.

And what could be better than nitpicking over helmets? Best conversation we’ve had in ages.

I suppose there are a lot of helmets in that picture.

Budgetatus option: nothing sexy, just a Bell Sweep, found NOS in orange/black/white, slightly shopworn, for a song. Couldn’t abide the thick/double straps and heavy turnbuckle, so I transplanted the retention system from a crash-damaged ProLite. Looks great with The V-Kit: business up front, party in the rear.

Bell sweep was my favorite-ever helmet except – and this is an issue with all Bells – the two sweat pads on the front are placed precisely over my eyebrows and the helmet sits low on my forehead, which means that when I get my V-Face on my brow squeezes the sweat out of the pads and right into my eyes. Massive suckage.

…Perhaps, Perhaps…LOL

Had an Atmos, thought it was ok until I tried the Lazer, couldn’t believe how much more confortable it is (on 2nd one now). Could add that fits well on skinny climber types…

Hah, OK, now you’ve nearly got me convinced…  I’ll have to find a place that stocks them around here and try one on.  I’m sure I can make a good argument for needing a summer and winter helmet.  As long as I get my wife one, too.

The Lazers are super comfy but won’t take my sunglasses in the vents, so sadly they are a no-go for me.

Weird, I seem to have no issue with that…Jawbones tuck in there upside down with no issues.

If you’re determined to have something orange on your skull, I can’t recommend this model highly enough.

Looking to get that this season

I like the Lazer so much I can overlook this flaw.

Lazer Helium definitely the best. Beats any crap Giro helmet out there, looks Euro cool!

It’s funny, and I guess it has a lot to do with what top pros were wearing when you were having your formative cycling-aesthetic experiences, but the Giro/Oakley combination just says Pro to me (don’t mind a Rudy Project combo, either).  I like my Giro Atmos a lot, though I haven’t tried dozens or anything, and I got through winter rides in Germany with a winter merino cap underneath.  I think I’d be easier to please with helmets if I had some hair on my head to add some cushioning…

Nice job, Keepers and everyone else. I continue to be damn fucking impressed by the Awesomeness you lad pull off and put out.

In awesome news: Saturday morning ride on my Casati, Sunday evening ride on my Tommasini. Gotta love riding classic steel both weekend days.

And, after a blip into the low 30s last week, this week is aimed at 20-22*C all week. Wow, great cycling weather.

If only they’d make the XL in more than one color for myself & my big headed brethren.

Picture 8, is that a EPMS? Or has your saddle shat itself?

spare tub strapped with toe strap – old school Rules

@Rom

What’s going on in the regroup pic with the guy in the pink jersey?

Frank told him to raise his saddle, and he figured the only way to do so and still reach the bars was to detach his torso. Commitment.

Not sure if it’s aero, though.

Huh, the guy in the red, white and black jersey is levitating as well.  Interesting that he can pedal a bike all that way with legs amputated below the knee, but I suppose that when one can levitate, riding a bike without your lower legs becomes a rather small feat…

Probably get an Air Attack too.

I see our illustrious leader is still choosing to wear that ridiculous helmet…

I’m taking delivery of the following two helmets in the coming two weeks.

The Evade is fucking fantastic in the wind and in cool weather. It is complete shit in the heat. As in, causes your shades to fog right the fuck up going uphill.

The POC looks like something out of Tron. I’m afraid it may be a downgrade in that respect.

I have photographic evidence that it highly resembles Lord Vader’s.

I spent my early childhood looking across the bay at Mt. Tam. Those photos just gut me.
