a few months ago i went by an old gentleman in that same old helmet, old wool jersey, old steel bike and he was keeping very respectable pace. he was probably in his 80's. He looked like he probably destroyed people on that bike when he was younger.

There's a guy that rides around town here that wears a Steelers helmet. Authentic, game ready Steelers helmet. Anyone else from Altoona, Pa here? You've probably seen him. Not on a road bike, unfortunately...or fortunately, I don't know how to look at that. I do sort of admire him though, he rides everywhere.

Only thing that does is keeps the big pieces of your head strapped together when the paramedics scrape your corpse off the street.
Not exactly a ton of head protection.

Awesome. I love the old school hairnet look. Classic Merckx 1970's. Too bad it offers no protection in a crash. I have a Red/white/and blue one that I keep hung up in my "bike room" for decoration right next to a Bernard Hinault Tour de France poster from the early 80's.
