Title: Early 80's Echo GT full face
Post by: mcbain70 on August 03, 2010, 07:52 PM: I've dug out an early 80's (late 83 I think) Echo GT full face helmet out of my parents garage - completely forgot I had it TBH. Are these quite common or quite rare? It is like the one Nelson Chanady used to wear.

The helmets aren't very common nowadays.

I used to ride that circuit twice a week too for many years, a couple of nasty climbs on it like Whiteleaf Hill, man that was/is a killer :D.
