OK, overwhelming win for the Black & Silver there, choosing colours is not something I'm good at so you guys have had the deciding vote there, thanks.

I have a yellow bike and a black bike. Had there been a black and yellow, as well as a black and silver, that would have been on the list too, but reds and blues don't go with yellow, and I don't like white helmets.

Still that's choosing what I'm not having, I'm good at that bit

ha ha, fair enough. I did like the matt one, reminded me a tiny bit of the side of the Kagayama x-spirit 2 in black. But shiny with silver it is

Went for the plain black in the end, ordered it today.



I hadn't managed to see a photo of the back of the Duende model helmet at the time of the poll, but it has a shield, some cheesy little skulls, a chain, and a few roses on it. I don't like it at all and I am enough of a tart to refuse to buy a helmet I just don't like, regardless of cost

I did find and really like this though



and have looked everywhere for one, but I wasn't enough of a tart, or I am too tight depending on which way you look at it, to pay the extra £40 that was being demanded for a bit of white paint.

Was there no difference in the price of the three you polled?

I know I really liked it, but could get the Duende one for £80 quid, or the Emblem white/gray for £160, or the Emblem white/black (that one above) for £180. The black was £140.

Selling the helmet at £80 quid they must be making a profit or at least breaking even or they wouldn't be selling it, so I wasn't prepared to get ripped off to the tune of £100 quid on principal.

Not at the time when I polled it no, they were all either £130 or £140 quid. But if anyone does like the Duende model that won the poll (get a look at the back of the helmet too, then get in touch with your feminine side ), the bust George Whites that reopened last week are now selling them for £80.


.................................

EDIT: hold the press, the George Whites one's are now back up to £100
