but arent they more relaxed and offer a better ride around london. that quinn would be far too aggressive for going to the shops to get a pint of milk.

is 'swillah' on the forum, i want to make an offer on one of his wheelsets....

I'm actually quite interested in getting one, do they provide any protection at all?

I spotted this, it's so nice, it comes with the wheels too, He has an ad for the blue and yellow lemond also...and another 5 or 6 great frames.

that piedro is not this piedro!

I know you're not living in Zaandam.
Nice frame tho'...

How effective are these helmets? They look like they wouldn't do anything!

Looks like what we called a "Trott" helmet, named after German legend Wilfried Trott (and his father), but it isn't one. I think it's a cheaper version.

I both cases, I guess it has no SNELL/ANSI/ASTM approval and it's illegal in races and track training. If you want to use it for your own rides (no supervision of Unions): do as you please.
Sometimes I ride without a helmet. Compared with that, this helmet looks more safe.

I still have a similar helmet (no Trott), but there was never a good connection between the inner and outer parts, which makes it a bit uncomfy.
The looks are the same though, except fro the head in it...

Nakano's helmet is a Brancale. That's a different one. Prolly better, but still no SNELL/ANSI/ASTM approval.

So which of you bids as 'van der els' on marktplaats?

I don't.
But he's bidding on every track and vintage part on Marktplaats.
Looks like a guy who is trying to make some Euro's. No a cycling enthousiast.
There are some more, even from Germany.

Thanks DC. The search for a low profile, cool, well protected helmet continues!

Info...

Charles: Sort of. If its an old one then yes. If its one of the modern re-issues then its gash and not worth £10.

I need that basso.

I don't.
