Hi PNJ

I personally would be scared to death to ride with whatever type of styrofoam the old helmet is made of.Who knows what chemicals have been near it and might affect the performance of it.
My wife just had a 20mph get off the other day in a paceline incedent .Needless to say she cracked the left rear side behind the ear all the way through.This is on a new helmet and was on grass and sand that she hit.I would hate to think what could happen to an old helmet like you described,and no helmet at all is unacceptable in my opinion.I don't think she would be in to good a condition right now.
Oh well just my 2cents.


SeeeeYaaaa
