So I was browsing through some of the overseas cycling forums and happened to came across this one thread, and one of the poster did made me realized about what a good bicycle is, at least to a mere mortal cyclist like us (working professional with weekend rides).
In short, i've concluded that what I need is a good quality bike that can bring me to places..enjoy the ride and journey..becoming healthier, and such. Getting the same bike as the pros will not make me any faster, but i'll gain the cool factor and a thinner wallet. A good quality bike, that looks nice to your eyes. Am I changing my target from the SL4 to some Italian beauty? In the end it's gonna be the same lor..good and cool looking bikes is all expensive and at least pro-tour level..I'm back to square one!  doh.gif

as you already say...helmet is about fitting and there is no way to know if you actually go for a test fit yourself...

you might find out about how good the padding and ventilation is... but that means jack shit if the helmet can't fit your head as that affects general comfort....

it fits for one guy doesn't mean it fit for the other...
