Well, I don't know if they came straight from 
Troxel this way, but a supplier here in the UK 
(Border Trails I think it was) was selling 
limited edition Troxels at the Cirencester 
Festival of Endurance last year which were all 
sorts of crazy day-glo colours and everything. 
Very smart. In fact, if you take your Troxel to a 
cycle shop here in the UK they can spray it in 
any colour you want with a special spray which 
doesn't damage the shell integrity. I keep 
thinking that I oughta go and get mine sprayed 
yellow but I just never get round to it. Maybe 
you could do that in the US to get a personalised 
psychedelic helmet?

Cheers!
