Default Helmet shopping

Just for info.
There's a company, helmetcity.co.uk, that are selling what seem really resonably priced Shoeis. I don't know what their customer service is like (i'm about to find out) but I picked up an XR1000 for less than £200 which seemed pretty good. If it doesn't come with a giant dent in it i'll consider it a good deal.
Thought i'd post in case anyone else was helmet shopping.

Not yet - but one the same size in a shop...
I think the cheapest are cheap because they are for less usual sizes - the Ms and the Ss have gone. I didn't realise it until I started motorbiking but apparently I have an XS head which can be quite useful when it comes to purchasing lids!

They have probably all fallen off the production line and have invisible damage

Nah only kidding, are they last years colours or coming upto 2 years old?

I got a good deal on a shoei XR1000 as it was last years colours.....I believe helmets have a shelf life of 2 years and after this date they have to be reduced in price and a notice showing they are over 2 years old.
