Great photo. That reminds me that I think I bought my first bike helmet in early 80s? Bell made one that was almost built like their motorcycle helmets, heavy plastic outer piece with a lot of styrofoam and minimal venting. No front panniers due to the lack of front racks. I was surprised to see one pair of fenders, nobody at that time ran fenders on a distance bike in USA.
