    Prices are all over the place. Canyon pretty good at the minute. 129 if you have the cojones to match a.... purple helmet :)

    If not then it's 179 for white or blue.

    OP will also need a smaller head - they've only got small left in the purple ;)

    Ha! The purple would actually match the club kit but not sure I could handle a purple helmet and all the double entendres to go with it!!😉

    You should have got the purple one. You would have been a warrior!!

    (I would laugh from afar though!)

    A few of our lads have the purple helmet, as our club has a largely purple vibe. We moved on from the obvious genital-focused comments to one of sartorial appreciation.
    In fact, I am looking for one too. I have a white Octal foe w few years now. They are brilliant.
    US eBay have them for US$100, which brings them up to €130 when tex ect are factored in. I worry that they are knock-off. There is no point in buying a bogus one, as the main point of buying them is the superior noggin protection they offer.

    Yes, purple is indeed a fine sartorial colour!

    Like I said, I got sorted yesterday-Canyon have the purple one in Small on offer at 129 euro plus 7.90 delivery to Ireland but I contacted their customer service in the UK and asked would they honour their sale for the Giro which had all colours reduced.

    The kind fella in the UK price matched the helmet, so I got it in Blue instead for 129.

    Worth giving them a call..

    Literally a good call. :). When these came out first I thought they were awful mawkish looking yokes, but time has been good to them and they look cool now to my eye. Mad to pay 300 quid plus for them though. I picked up a green one for the mrs last year for around 120 from Canyon I think.
