Like you say they have a roundish fit, but i find it works for me, I think they are spot on value wise, and like you say they look good - possibly this is most important :) Have to say am still really impressed with these.

They look good (and slightly unique amongst the peloton too) and ventilation seems fine. I have found that the fit is on the 'rounded' side so it is definitely best to try before you buy! I'd say they're a nice helmet though. Looking forward to you posting a few more photo's of the team wearing them. Our Samcycling Team is using these helmets this year and so far they seem great.

Seriously? How would that even work? Surely doing that would mean putting weight through the inside leg, which in turn would pull the bike out of a turn. I am fascinated to see the proof, and to see you do this in action. Point 10. Seriously? How would that even work?

Taking on the UCI and beating Boardman/BCF with his half million pound bike. A living legend. I picked up a signed copy of his recent training manual and like Obree it is not your conventional training manual. Full of typo’s, but also contains a lot of fairly useful information. Probably aimed more at the Time Trail Rider. Obree also advocates using the turbo trainer. Goes into the detail of using just a basic magnetic turbo without the flywheel, excludes fluid based turbos due to changes in temperature. If anyone wants to borrow manual just post via the Club Forum. Graeme Obree – two World Hour Records and twice World Pursuit Champion whilst suffering from mental illness.

I have the same wheels and crank, all that I am missing is the carbon Colnago frame and minus 30 years!! Good luck with the racing this year. Hi Richard,
