Awfully quiet out here today listers. Maybe Dale put the fear of Tulio into us about off-topic posts. I hope this question is not too out there. I'd hate to get banned.

Helmet use is not optional for me - I'm going to wear one no matter what. I'm wondering if anyone knows of modern helmets that may not look as goofy with classic bike and kit as a typical brightly graphical Giro etc. I'm hoping for plain black with simple air slots and a head hugging shape (rather than the current rear-flared helmet shape). I've Googled and found some tweedy covers and the archives weren't much help. I'm not trying to start a debate, just wondering if anyone has found something they like.
