Post by: Zippy on August 22, 2006, 05:23 PM: That's looking quite good.

As you know though I swear by the Bell Moto. You can get then for about £250 as well which isn't too bad when you consider a top of the range troy lee is closing in on that.

Post by: rom_kid_04 on August 22, 2006, 08:00 PM: decent lids i think ... mx lids are better than bmx/mtb ones they can protect you much better ... they may weigh more but its worth the extra weight for the extra protection ... make sure it fits nice and tight

Post by: kennyhunter6061 on August 22, 2006, 09:44 PM: How about a Bell Moto 7? There's a 'shop' on ebay knocking brand new ones out for Â£79-Â£99, depending on finish. They've got all the sizes, black, white, silver, and multi-colours.....

If you really want a JT ALS-2 (the full face) I have one in 1996 GT Colours (But I'd really recommend the Moto 7)
