Giro road helmets
Im kinda looking for the Giro Pneumo road helmet in Melbourne. They were
around last year in most bike shops but wasn't in the market for one then. Just my luck when I am thinking of replacing my current one, I can't find any bike shops that stock them. Not one Giro helmets in sight. All I can see are MET helmets. Does anyone know a bike shop in Melbourne that still sells Giro road helmets or have they pulled the plug on Australia?? |

Giro road helmets
I understand that there is a problem with Giro meeting Australian safety
standards at the moment. The helmets were due to be imported by the Melbourne based company Pacific Brands but their website makes no mention of Giro. Do what I did and get one from the USA on the net. Peter "Marvin Martian" wrote in message u... Im kinda looking for the Giro Pneumo road helmet in Melbourne.

Giro road helmets
Yeah looks like it might be that way and get one from US
Do you remember the website from which you got yours from? It would be great if you can post it here. Only worry is the right fit when I order and hope it fits when I get it Thanks Peter "Peter" wrote in message ...

They did not get Aust Std accreditation along with some others, if I remember correctly. They still meet many international standards. Hence some shops pulled them off the shelf. I use a helmet that has not been accredited to Aust Std, personally I don't think there is much in it. You may even be able to speak to a shop and get one ordered in. I remember many of these were returned to the distributors. Kevin |

Marvin,
I got mine from BikeSmart.com in California. $US130.00 plus postage of course. I had an older Giro so I just used the same size when ordering. Peter "Marvin Martian" wrote in message u...

Peter
Thanks for the info. Just placed an order for it. By the way did you have to fax ID details to them after the order confirmation or they shipped it regardless you sent the fax or not?
