Indeed. Thanks to this thread I've just placed an order for a GSI unit. What I've realized from my shopping is that there are actually two GSI units. The stereo one is 33.00 and is designed to mount inside a full face helmet (motorcycle). I cannot imagine getting that to work with a bicycle helmet and my stoker (blind) would probably not be happy with both her ears covered. So I've gone for the mono unit. The mike and earpiece are mounted on a solid shaft that I probably have some hope of velcroing to the bottom of our helmets. Price from Amazon certified retailer is 16.99 but I went for another seller that had new units for 12.95 + 6.95 shipping. We've been riding for 5 years rain or shine, W/S/SF, 'J' can hear the proverbial "gnat p*ss*ng on cotton (in a laundry hamper)" and my hearing is pretty above average and since she is behind me speaking almost directly in my ears an intercom isn't exactly something we
need right now. I do plan to make us a euro-style, back-to-back recumbent and I suspect we will need it then. So thanks in advance... ...
