If anyone needs a cheap tear drop helmet for TT or track that meets Australian standards, you may consider this at $69.

keep pointing these things out hey, im a maybe for this one, and reckon its good to spread this stuff.
(on the other hand i do actually buy alot of my stuff from the local shops like bundy who give a lot back into cycling :P so check out what bundy etc have to offer as well :D that lad gives us great deals and has helped out with a heap of bike problems we have had!)
speaking of, if any one is considering a new bike, id recomend checking out what you can get a nice new steel frame for from Jim Bundy! Im even considering a steel frame track bike.

Yup Tim! I shared it because I know someone from the club was looking to get an aero helmet.

The last time I went to a bike shop to buy an aero helmet, they were $400. So I came out with a cheap pink helmet instead. :? So, when I found this one for $69, I thought it is a pretty good deal. I have read reviews, it is a nice helmet and normally sells for over $200. I have ordered one for myself already.

The thing is, the retail shops may be run by the nicest blokes, but it is pretty hard for them to compete with the online retailers on price.

things like aero bars etc we buy in the shops. If it means spending a bit extra im ok with it, i guess if theres any crazy cheap deals id consider the net, but ive received some crazy cheap deals from bike shops, so will as much as possible stick with them through other things too if i can :D

Alot of things like bikes id recomend always geting from shops for warranties etc etc

Some triathletes tested this and other more expensive helmets, and concluded that this one is the fastest

$60 for an aero helmet, that's amazing. Probably won't happen for a while due to the new Helmet laws
