was shopping for this helmet and stumbled on this deal. Best price out there in Aus seems to be $249.99 at Pushys but these accessories are worth something and makes this price a steal!

of course if you're in Melbourne you can get a helmet for $5 (or one a week for a year for $260)
http://www.melbournebikeshare.com.au/helmet-locationsOf course with the advertised helmet you can;
- queue jump at intersections because you're superior,
- overtake without saying 'passing' because everyone know you're an 3l1t3 cyclist.
- you hold everyone up at the lights when they go green because you can't clip your shoes in
- everyone is thinking how cool are they, I just want ot be them!Or you can just cycle to work?
For you it might just be a mere ride to work but with this helmet, it's like doing a mountain stage of the Tour de France. With this helmet, you probably will get noticed by one of the teams & be asked to compete next year (if you're free).
Remember this helmet is worth more then most mere mortal's bikes. They really should just move out of your way.
OP, if you could explain why this helmet is good value for money, your post would get a lot more votes.
I think most ozbargainers look at bike helmets and think "about the same amount of plastic as an ice-cream bucket, and the molded foam interior is about as complex as the foam that my TV was packaged in".
I know there can be a lot of R&D in the design, and there are costs involved in approvals and testing and product liability insurance. However, since there are plenty of helmets available at MUCH lower prices, these can't be huge.
Why is this helmet worth the asking price?
Not sure on how bargain this is but good helmets are less bulky, better ventilated and much lighter than the cheaper ones (generally) while still offering top notch protection. I think locking your cappucino is taking things a bit far though.
yes and no Russ. I mean at the price it's really aimed at enthusiasts who will know why it's good value for money :)
Other people (looks at supabrudda) won't be swayed in any event.
Errr…you said it yourself that Pushy's was $249.99 so how is this considered a deal?
http://www.pushys.com.au/lazer-z1-road-helmet-kit-white-silv… This is the same helmet kit with the extras for $249.99 with free shipping in australia.weird. how the hell did I miss that! Always a bit odd when a store have two products identical in price when one is clearly superior! http://www.pushys.com.au/lazer-z1-road-helmet-white-silver-2…
Mod's feel free to burn this as I'm off to buy from Pushys!edit: oh I see, they're one of those shops that lists things they don't have in stock..
Its been showing stock since i posted the link. Also had stock of the orange/blue helmet kit at time of posting before but the orange/blue now sold out
The original link at 99 bikes also has the helmet kit or just the helmet for the same price.
…was shopping for this helmet and stumbled on this deal….
I hope you were wearing another helmet at the time!
Here's the official reason why it cost so much - just look at the features!
http://www.bikeradar.com/au/road/gear/category/helmets-and-p…Of course it's just possible that $254 of the money goes into funding sponsorship deals such as the Uk Olympic cycling team, Lotto Belisol & various others
i should probably add there is free shipping on this as it's over $80
