FS: 2009 Giro Ionos

    Asking Price: 80 euro (excl. any postage/packaging/delivery)

    Reason for sale: I don't have a Giro shaped head and this one has always looked kind of funny on me. I would prefer a Bell which I plan on buying. If the value of 80 euro isn't met I'll just keep it and look funny.

    Location: South Dublin

    This was sent as a replacement from CRC last year. Worn for a full year of cycling, never crashed. Excellent condition and comes with full set of replacement pads, owners manual and winter liner.

    I should also mention that I don't have a sweaty head and I wear a cycling cap 90% of the time (can be seen in photos or confirmed by forum members) so there is no sweaty odour from this helmet.

    A quick search shows that 2 other Ionos have been put up for sale here at 80 euro each. I think this is a pretty fair price for a helmet that will cost around 180 euro new online (CRC, wiggle, PBK) or over 200 euro locally. The cheapest I found was slane cycles for 160 euro, so 80 euro is still an excellent price.

    Weight on kitchen scales is 310/312g (it jumps constantly between the two)

    It's a LARGE size

    Might be interested. Are you ever in the City Centre during office hours?

    I could be persuaded to come in. I'll be away next week at the Tour of Ireland from tuesday (I think).

    Offer €80 subject to collecting in IFSC ;)

    How does that sound?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,505 ✭✭✭✭DirkVoodoo


    Perfect. Do you have a Giro already, just to be sure about the sizing?

    I think 59-63cm is the spec for large.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 972 ✭✭✭stmochtas


    No but I have tried them and the large is the best fit for me although I am medium in most other gear.

    For you maybe, for me it's a scenic tour by car.

    DV, cheers for the helmet. Fits like a glove on the first very easy test ride.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,505 ✭✭✭✭DirkVoodoo


    SOLD! Good to meet you stmochtas, well wear on the helmet!
