Catlike. . .
 

Anyone know of a Canadian/European bike shop that will sell Catlike helmets to the US
??

That's the million dollar question. A friend has a Kompact and it's one of the best helmets I have ever tried on.
I need to go to canada one of these days.

I hear they found a US distributor for '07.

roscoe - your studio broke my knee!

********** Bike Fetish After Party perhaps? :)

haha yeah, and i wasn't even drinking! i was walking down the stairs and stepped on the bottom step, twisted my ankle which made my leg buckle and i kneed the **** outta the doorframe. suuuuucked.

also, i found out that jeremy shares your space. that's rad. he's a friend of mine. the old tenant, mike law, is too. didn't realize that was the space they were using though.

right on. sorry about your knee... that doorframe isn't gonna budge!
those are the dudes in room 5...formerly occupied by Longwave.

i got a catlike kompact 2 on craiglist for 25 bux. i guess i got real lucky

looks like they had a buncha recalls a while back....I'd be skeptical of eBay scores

+1. . .I want the ribobank(sp) helmet. . . . . . .

Canada
 

they sell in the US again. found a shop in queens that sells them and they swore they had just gotten an order in a month ago.

Jesus ****-balls, those are some spendy helmets.. For sleeky goodness I dig my Limar lots- it's about to recieve a nice flat black sprayjob to cover up the nasty roadie colors. Nice design overall.

EDIT: I was looking at some cracked-out site offering the Kompact for $300-something. At 74 pounds I guess they're along the same lines as the higher-end Giro stuff. I'll still stand by loving the Limar now. I crash too much to trot out a c-note-and-a-half each time I go down.

I'd be careful about painting your helmet. Spraypaint liquifies most styrofoams. Being made of goo might compromise a helmet's ability to protect your brain.

if you want a catlike PM and we can sort it out

you wont get any great deals because im just a lowly wrench so all i can do is relay the prices...

i got the limar too, 39 bucks down from like 100$+ (nashbar haha)

and i did the ultra flat krylon job on it too as soon as it arrived. i think it will be ok as long as there aren't any big cracks or holes that the paint can seep into.. i sprayed like 5 coats on it letting each new coat dry completely first. i like it... its batman-ee

Get your Catlike in the USA:

Catlike Helmets, worth every penny..... and they are spendy....

Just read your post, I'm in the process of buying two out of Canada, they will ship to the states:

La Bicicletta
233 West Broadway
Vancouver, BC
tel. 604.872.2424

They don't meet US standards, just Euro standards! Looking at the Whisper Light, should have bought one when I was there.

ChicagoxBoston,

Hey, posted a note, thought I'd also reply back to you directly,

Call and the'll deliver your Catlike helmet:

La Bicicletta

233 West Broadway

Vancouver, BC

tel. 604.872.2424

That is is badass looking helmet Diemos. I wish we knew if the spray paint affected the helmets performance.

You realize this is a 2 year old thread, right?
ChicagoxBoston hasn't posted since november 2006.

While I like La Bicicletta in Vancouver (Campione is better), you really sound like a shill.

no way, the one i saw with you last weekend? you are the bargain watchdog of the year.

Yes, realized the thread was old but thought passing on the info would not hurt as there was no other info on the site about this.

Go easy, ride harder.....
