Giro road helmets
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? Thanks again "Peter" wrote in message ... 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... 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 ... 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. 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?? |

Marvin, BikeSmart sent the helmet on the basis of my credit card details. No further info was required. Peter "Marvin Martian" wrote in message u... Peter Thanks for the info.

Don't want to be a negative person but that's the reality. Also, you might wish to consider the fact that you could be stopped from racing if the officials noticed your helmet wasn't an approved one. -- -------------------------- Posted via cyclingforums.com http://www.cyclingforums.com |

It's approved for racing (in Vic at least), but not for recreational riding. It's approved by the federal government because they recognise the American standard. It's not approved by some/all? state governments because they haven't got around to recognising the American standard. It costs something like $30,000 per size to get a helmet tested for the Australian standard. Regards, Richard. |
