Oakley M frames, Performance glasses

Price Paid:  $0.00

Bike Setup:
Various models in the past but my favorites now are my good old Cannondale R2000 and Bad Boy .

Summary:
I just love these , always have and pretty sure I always will . To be honest with you guys I was inspired by G.Hincapie to get a pair . Sure they look better on him but who cares . And it's amazing how by just wearing a pair of these things I actually seem to go faster , feel less tired and ,for some strange reason, confident enough to ride 250kms of just cobblestones .
And to add to my collection , I just scored a pair of the old Red Tiger Racing Jackets on an auction site and these babies simply rock . Talk about wild things ! I actually scared my cat away after putting them on !

Strengths:
Great feel,fit, looks , frame durability and most important quality of the lenses ... and did I mention looks ?

Weaknesses:
Haven't noticed any yet . OK , they fog up a bit at the traffic lights but what do ya want , damned demisters and an internal air conditioner fixed into them ?

Bike Setup:

Summary:
I was looking for something I could Swim, bike, and run in. (Okay, so they don't work that great for swimming.) These work great for biking, and are desent on the run. As long as you are moving they won't fog (so don't stop) but, even when you do have ta stop they don't completly fog. Decent weight, I had gold lenses and they work great.

Strengths:
Don't fog, won't collect sweat. They look knida funky so everybody looks at ya. (But they did that anyway.) It's nice that the gold lenses actualy look blue. Yellow was never my favorite color.

Weaknesses:
Oskley lenses smudge very badly. You could put these on a shelf and never touch them and some how the lenses would get a finger print on them. I don't notice a whole lot of help from the ear pieces, but they don't hurt either. The smudge factor is the biggest problem. My Nikes, never did that.
