Aero helmets

My non protective aero helmet (fairing) broke today. Does anybody know if they are still sold or do I have to buy a protective one? If so any recommendations?

Can't buy fairings new anymore. They are illegal (UCI) so manufacturers don't bother making them in addition to their safety aero helmets. Could keep an eye out on the TT forum or ebay for one, otherwise you'll probably get the best deal on t'internet for a new helmet.

I think it's like saddles, everyone's head is different. I'd try and get to a shop with a decent range and try a few on before looking online for the best price. Ribble have a couple of offers on a Bell and a Giro at the moment.

I have still got a spare Limar carbon pointy helmet if you are interested.

I am interested, is it one size fits all and how much would you like?

It is one size fits all with a super simple adjuster.
Immaculate as new. Cost just under £100. Going for £40.
