I have a Uvex urban helmet and it rocks. Looks great and has way more ventilation than a Nutcase. A little less than a sci-fi helmet but plenty for hot weather. Check it out. Favorite helmet yet. Boing! On Friday, July 13, 2012 5:14:43 PM UTC-5, Andy Smitty Schmidt wrote: I wear a Nutcase

I'm thinking about switching out my drop bars for albatross on one of my bikes to mix things up. So I'm also thinking about getting the aluminum. A bit more in price but I think aluminum is what I want. Anybody think the steel bars are better? I'd love to hear some feedback from people who have
