Tayyib Posted August 25, 2015 Author Posted August 25, 2015 Yeah, except you shoul dbe able to get that one locally for not much more, and not be whacked by the 30% duty on helmets...Where locally cause I'll get one this weekend! ?
Tayyib Posted August 25, 2015 Author Posted August 25, 2015 http://dialdbikes.co.za/661-comp-helmet.html Here it is at R1550
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Where locally cause I'll get one this weekend! ?That new one hasn't arrived in the country yet, from what I can see. Pinned have them listed, but not available. As do Dial'd.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 http://dialdbikes.co.za/661-comp-helmet.html Here it is at R1550Yeah but pre-order only for now... Should be able to get soem at a 661 stockist. Not sure who stocks up there.
patches Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 R1550 for a 661 Comp... Weren't those like R800 a couple of years ago? I know exchange rate and inflation blah blah blah... but holy cow... I think I need to start a rainy day fund for when my full face has had that "one crash too many"
Tayyib Posted August 25, 2015 Author Posted August 25, 2015 Yeah but pre-order only for now... Should be able to get soem at a 661 stockist. Not sure who stocks up there.Assuming you in CT. .who stocks there?

I know exchange rate and inflation blah blah blah... but holy cow... I think I need to start a rainy day fund for when my full face has had that "one crash too many"yep, that's teh one. Still think you can get one around that price if you look for old stock. But I'm not sure - haven't been looking.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Assuming you in CT. .who stocks there?Yeah, I'm in CT but TBH I dunno. Trail and Tar had a few, as did CWC and a couple of others. Maybe try Olympic Cycles & Bridge?
Nick Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 I've just chatted to Dial'd Bikes. They are expecting the new 661 Comp stock to arrive this week.

Khronis Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 http://clearance.asgsport.co.za/helmets/rudy-project-koyna-full-face-helmet-black-red-white/ Saw this on the asg clearance website.

It's a re-branded early MET POS. It'll survive a knock to the head, but not much else. Seems I was wrong. Carry on!!!
Khronis Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Don't touch. It's a re-branded early MET POS. It'll survive a knock to the head, but not much else. No wonder they have reduced the price so much. I also noticed in the small print that it says "slight defect" , not something you want to see when it comes to a helmet.

As for this shell design... Rudy Project isn't the only brand to jump on the band wagon. The only variance seems to between them seems to be the paintwork and the peak. the list of copycats is huge.

With those other colours, it's now clear that it's not...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 And I must have been smoking something, cos this is the one that I was referring to... Which is clearly nothing like the abovementioned ones. Right. More coffee...
