Group buying: cycling glasses

Since the kit will be delivered in 2-3 months time. I would like to poll for anyone interested in group buying cycling glasses. With enough participants I am sure we can have a bespoke design.

I think oakley might be an interesting brand, they allow personalizing and engraving. Having glasses in a colorscheme to match the kit could also be a nice idea. Please see the link for an examle that I quickly compiled, again it is an example only.



Please confirm and inform me in this topic about quantity/brands/models you would like.

Hi martin...

I had a pair of jaw bone made. Just picked them up back home.. Sorry did not think of posting it here..!

Martin, count me in with Raha Revolution on one lens and name/handle on the other.......as per Mortens Oakleys!!!!...but better

Martin

Now I have seen Morten's glasses in the flesh I want a pair for sure. It wasnt too clear from the mock up, so perhaps more may come on-board if Morten can post a good picture of his specs and colourway match for the awaited kit?

Hi

As requested some pics.

I bought my in Denmark since it would take a long time if ordered in the Oakley shop in Dubai. Back home it took 5 days from i sent the order till they were in the shop...

The Ice Iridium polarized ( the blue option to match our kit) lens is an index 3 lens. That is the 2nd highest protection Oakley provides "for strong sun brightness".

The R50 is on the other hand index 1 but read the review below.

"If you're planning an all-day venture and will see everything from foggy mornings to sunlit afternoons, glasses with Transitions' SOLFX photochromic lenses, found on select Oakley Jawbones, are the best choice. The VR50 Transition lenses shift from nearly clear (blocking just 10 percent of available light) to 50 percent blockage in mere seconds, while heightening the contrast needed to see roots and rocks. But no matter what the tint, the lenses block 100 percent of harmful UV rays. "

My order looked like this:

Frame color: Matte Black
Lens 1 color: Ice Iridium polarized
Lens 1 text etching: RAHA REVOLUTION (scriptana)
Lens 2 color: R50 Photochromic VENTED.
Jaw: Team light blue
Thru bolt: Matte Black
Icons: Team white
Ear: Socks White

Now we just need the kit and get in a decent form...;-)

Hi Martin,

I created a mock-up design of the Jawbone (per Viking's specs) on the Oakley website and it priced out at $400 (without engraving). Do you know what the volume discount would be?

Let me know if you guys go ahead with this.... I'm going to try and order some sprair parts to Revolutionise my dull white Jawbones...

Hello

How Manu is intersted in glasses...? Been On the phone With the shop i used in Denmark.. They are trying to arrange a deal With oakley Denmark...

The vat refund is 20% back..

Spare parts could be ordered as well...

Morten

If you're putting in an order then i'm definitely in for some spares...

Jaw: Team light blue
Ear Socks: Team light blue

... but i don't think thats quite the "bulk order" they'll be looking for!

Hello Again...

Just got news from Denmark..

The SKI shop I bought my glasses from are offering 15% discount on the glasses... And then the 20% vat

So if anyone are going for the same set up as me it would look like this:

Jawbone as on the pics above. Price 2033 AED -15% discount and 1728 -20% VAT a set of Raha REV costume made glasses would be 1382 AED.

If there is anybody who is interested in other frames go too www.oakley.com/custom and have a look if there is anything you like. Split jacket, M-frame and Radar are some models used for cycling. The Jaw bone is great..!;-)

I have sent a mail regarding spare parts as well..

Let me know if and what you want.

Morten
