    Should I keep this and wear it or send it back?

    Bought in the CRC private sale, only £20. Listed as magenta and black. No picture of that coulourway though, just the other, more ahem, “manly” colours.
    It’s only for on the road bike so I’m tempted to get matching pink kit and just say what the hell.
    I am male btw.

    It appears to be magenta and black. Did you know that when you ordered?

    Didn’t you think to google image search it before buying it?

    +1 for those gloves too, they’re one of my fav pairs.

    I thought those gloves would be great until I worked out the significance of the colours… that aside, they do look neat.

    You didn’t do a quick google image search for the colours?

    I think you’re at fault here… magenta is well known as the ex-T-mobile pro team colour which was basically pink… 😉

    I’d wear it. 😉

    I wouldn’t wear it. But I would have actually found out what it was before pressing BUY.

    Lol yes lesson learnt I will do a google image search in future. I was lulled into a false sense of security by the lack of any horrid coloured ones on the actually webpage I was buying it from! (and the mad frenzy that was the first hour of the private sale… quick, buy before they sell out… oh actually nobody else wants one there are still loads left today…)
    However, I think I shall be returning it for a refund. Bike is a red specialized and would clash horribly with a pink t-mobile top

    If it’s for your road bike then you’ll probably be going too fast to hear the homophobic jeers of teenagers as you whizz by them.

    what was the sizing like

    It’s one size fits all. I struggled to get it snug though on my big head. Fairly basic wind in/wind out thing at the back. My xen is a much better fit.

    This helmet definitely doesn’t look the same in the flesh either. I thought it was pretty nasty in person. More like a metallic orangey gold.

    My helmet wasn’t the hue I was hoping for either. It’s a bit more red than the purple I was expecting.
