08 TLD Helmets inside
- Thread starter Lollapalooza
- Start date
The Phobia is the only decent on there.
I like the Phobia and some of the Flames. The Peaty would be good if you covered up mini-Steve with a sticker or something.
Wow. They successfully manage to get worse and worse every year...
I think it might be time to switch to t.h.e. helmets.
Meh - they're alright.
I thought about them until I saw them in person. They make you look like a toucan.
I love TLD helmets. But like big-ted said, the colors seem to get worse every year.
Just let me get a plain white D2 and I'll have it custom painted by someone else.

linky no worky
I will probaly just pick the least ugliest one.
They still fit me better than anything else out there.
But seriously though, can the flames please get a year off?
Just one.
Maybe their best artist is a pyro who refuses to work on anything else unless the flames make it in.

I really like the Phobia one. Wish they would offer it with some other color options besides black though.
somebody post up pictures.

Gotta love the flipped negative on the Peaty, or is it backwards on purpose?
stupid question, but are those the moto ones?/dot approved, same thing
because its seemed the past two years the motos have been gloss and the regulars have been dust/matte

I was talking to the manager of Bicycle Centers of Silverlake (great guy) and he said that these helmets are still the same old non-DOT D2's. The SE helmets are the DOT-approved ones.
My wife got an 08' that will not be made, too feminine 
This is last years model. Looks gloss to me.

Rode with Troy in whistler, he had the peaty helmet, looks dope even on average joes.
Jvnixon, or whoever the god of Sicklines is, fixed the Peaty helmet.
anyone know which paint jobs get the carbon treatment?
My D2 is up for replacement and as much as i hate it for the crap venting and the fact that the lining moves round when i put it on. They are by far the best looking helmets and there cool. So might have to treat myself

All of them except the phobia look too busy to me.
Yep, the phobia is sick.... except I hate hate HATE spiders. *Shudder*
Haha yeah same here. I'm still trying to decide if I should get the '07SE2 Phobia...too many spiders for me.
I agree 100%
their designs are stuck in the 80s. pretty much every single design is a cookie cut of a cookie cut...
I believe they're really sick, the problem is, being the design they have, it's hard to use them with other clothings... they just won't match up, unlike the older ones which had a more symeticral look to them, what do you think?
The only one I can manage to really look at is the Phobia. The flames are okay, but they're getting old. I wish TLD would to back to circa '02-'03 with the simple racy shapes/pinstripes for at least one of the lids. I just don't really see the appeal with the eyeball and stuff. D2s just don't look that fast anymore.
I think the day I worry about whether or not my clothes match my helmet is the day I quit riding bikes and go back to strutting on the runway.
palooza- where you one of the guys in blue a few days ago? you'll have to stop in again sometime, we can always use more monkeys
devin?
oh right, this is a helmet thread.....
I actually kind of like the designs. the flames are pretty "racer-esque" and the others are sweet imho because they are different from anything else out there.
if you want matching helmet and cloths go join the smurfs

I just read Eren's sig and was trying to give him a hard time. I don't even know where Silverlake is. Sorry.
is it just me or are the tld paint jobs going the way of the specialized paint jobs
if it's any consolation, the SE isn't looking any better:
look familiar?
Like looking at my lunch box back in 82:
the only one that's relatively original:
Oh, and something we've never seen before
