SRV Helmets Part II

[Mike S]

Is anyone still interested in SRV team helmets?

Here's the proposal:

North Division Bicycle Shop might be willing to work with us to get us a price break on a popular helmet (probably Giro, probably one of their high end road helmets like Pneumo/Atmos etc)

We would all buy the same style, and the same color helmet. Instead of getting a custom colored helmet, we would buy a neutral colored helmet, such as white or grey.

We would then purchase custom SRV decals to decorate our helmets in team colors. (In fact, you could probably use the stickers with any helmet)

Any thoughts, comments, or suggestions on this idea?

[Pat S]

Yeah, I'm definitely interested.

And since we would be working with a decal company who would already have our artwork, maybe we could look at some general purpose SRV decals. Something that you could put on a rear window or a toolbox or whatever.

Count me in. I remember someone talking about the Giro Rabobank helmet. Any thoughts there as far as colors go?

[Mike S]

Can you find a picture? Is the helmet still in production?

I'm in. I like the idea of using a decal kit to tie in with the SRV colors.

I am definitely interested.

I'm in depending on price of course.

Okay, we're seriously looking at the Giro Pneudo, or the Giro Atmos.

We'll take a sample helmet and our logos down to a local decal maker and see what they can make for us. To me, a white or blue/white color makes the most sense. There's a few good options between the two helmets.

We could also look at the Giro Ionos, which come in Rabobank colors this year (pretty close to SRV colors). However, this is a $225 helmet at retail...I'm not sure if anyone wants to spend that much, even if we get a good price.

Hey Mike,
Did anything come of the SRV helmet idea? I need to get a replacement helmet soon and would buy the SRV version if it fits my melon well enough.

[Mike S]

We're all for it, but we never heard anything back from Gyro on it. I'll check with Brenda again this week.
