Teardrop helmet

G'day trackies!
I borrowed a teardrop helmet for my triathlon, and found it useful for the windy day it was. I would like to get one for myself. Any ideas where to get them from around Sydney?
Cheers
G

Without a Standard Australia sticker, it would get picked on by the commissaires. Not sure of the requirements for triathlons though.

The helmet has the Standards Australia sticker - I just confirmed it with T7 using their live chat.

Just purchased one. Hard to beat at that price and I'm sure I'll find a use for it some day - even if it is just to loan out.

The dread Torpedo 7 impulse buy virus strikes again!
And I, for one, look forward to bathing in second hand sweat from numerous unidentified sources

Well, it isn't often you are presented with a standards approved TT helmet for less then $100. I imagine they'll sell out pretty fast once word gets around.

If anyone does buy it, can they get Torpedo 7 to sling me some commission?

I tried, but all i could get out of them was my $10 discount for signing up one of my emails to their specials emails. Just couldn't resist for $99 shipped.
Now i'm just waiting for them to have the Limar pro104 in my size and a reasonable colour.

make sure you're not looking at the size selector. There's only 1 size. I ordered silver, and there's stock of the 3 colours when i open the page.

It was telling me no stock after I pushed add to basket
Anyway got it
I wasn't selecting colour, but this time it came up as silver as the default colour.
Perhaps there are some more left if anyone else wants one

Fair enough, i didn't try adding to the basket. Good to know you got one. I was almost going to offer to order one for you.

Seems they are down to silver & white. I ordered carbon and apparently it was shipped today. Now to find some clip-on aero bars...

I just checked and there are still some for sale if anyone wants one

Mine arrived this morning.
First impression - it is light. Feels lighter then my other helmet - which is probably heavy being the cheapest Met available. It has the standards sticker. I tried it on and look as ridiculous as could be expected.

Did anyone buy one?
I've just placed an order for one of the $40 road helmets. When it arrives I'll decide if its better or worse than my current race helmet and use the worse one for commuting
