Bell Javelin lid

pgibbo

I was recently told that a Bell Javelin lid might suit my position. Does anyone have one that I could possibly try or pick up second hand? Cheers.

I had one P, nice fitting helmet, plenty big too, found it one of the more comfy helmets I've used. If your buying second hand check the ear covers, they have a tendency to pull away a bit and make the helmet look like it's cracked.

I never used it with the visor and found some sunglasses hard to get the arms under the ears. Did like it though and would consider one myself if I was buying a new aero helmet.

Not sure of the size but for 25 I'd take a punt. What shop? I check b2r, wheelworx and cycle super store online but not there. Cheers.

EDIT: I think in the bargain section of Cycle Superstore upstairs behind the Triathlon section. Worth giving them a call tomorrow

I'd take a guess 68 is talking about cyclesuperstore, they moved their triathlon section upstairs recently and know they have opened a bargain/sale section.

Yup, they had some Bell lids and others. Check them though as some were missing clips or other bits. Very old stock.

Just off the phone. No Javelin. They have some bell meteor 2 though.
