Did he steal that from the old set from the movie Flash Gordon?

I think I’ve seen some old Orca print ads with Macca wearing one…Rudy Project?

Yep…huh…dimples.

Now that I’ve had a closer look, it said Rudy Project on the helmet…LOL. Damn those are ugly lids…

Of course, this helment will not marginalize triathletes and triathlon as freaks and freak shows. Good God!!!

If you are going to wear this, you better be really fast, and I don’t mean 20 mph either. But somehow, I fear that this will show up on an old guy who is 40 lbs over weight and chugging down the raod at 16 mph.

Simply AWSOME.

Can’t wait to find that James Bond short/shorty robe onesy and rock one of these babies around trasition one year.

Indurain and Andrea Collinelli both used to rock that helmet. It certainly looks badass on those guys.

No, it still looked retarded. They were just really fast retards.

Jeez, what were Boardman and Collinelli thinking? There is no way ST will approve of those positions!
Collinelli’s bike looks sick, though.

I remember when the Italian Pursuit team rocked this thing in 90’s. It’s nothing but a piece of plastic with some straps to keep it on your head. More of a head fairing than an actual helmet.

Late 90s? I seem to remember seeing either Cipolini or David Millar in one of these…

Don’t forget Abraham Olano (watch the '98 Tour prologue for reference).

Ullrich also wore one in the tour on a Bianchi
