2014 season helmets will be going cheap around now. myself and a mate both picked up a 200 euro lid for 90 quid this week. sadly i got the last one in that particular shop. you'd most likely find a similar deal on a new one if you look around

out of interest what reason did your buddy advise you to stick to those particular brands?

Why? No Specialized? No Limar? No Abus? Fair enough, don't buy mine, but that's BS.

Thanks dragratchet will keep an eye out on sales.

I've probably mis-quoted my friend. He said to stick with main brands and named a few he thought were best.
