sucker
a month or so ago i found my old oakley mframes that had broken a few years back. i thought to myself, 'self, if i could send these in and get a discount on replacement frames - that would be pretty cool.' i have 4 usable lenses laying around so why not?
so, i started the process. i called them, sent in the old frames and in a few weeks received a call. they said they would replace the frames for a nominal fee, but that these were first generation frames and that the third generation frames will not accept the old lenses (which is what i have). for a nominal fee + a bit more i could get a frame/lens replacement. i've always loved mframes and have missed mine since they cracked so i got a pair (white frames w/jade iridium hybrid lenses). i rode in with them this morning and they are great. the prices oakley can get are borderline ridiculous but, from my experience, the optics are unmatched and they have pretty solid customer service too. i certainly didn't need them but i'm glad i got them.
2 hours of ride time last night. i felt terrible but pushed through - and my legs felt it later on. a nice ride in this morning on the motobecane. watching the weather the past few days it was seeming like today and tomorrow would be a wash out. not so much for today (big surprise). i wonder if climate change is contributing to the buffoonery of predicting weather? i get that it is difficult - but what bothers me is the confidence they convey with every forecast. i'd feel a lot better if they'd say 'it's looking like this but i really have no idea because our computer models suck.' i guess that would be admitting defeat.
happy wednesday.
