new lenes for my oakleys from revant optics

Are Revant authorised Oakley sellers or are they simply selling lens that fit Oakleys? They have good prices for lens compared to the real deal from Oakley. I'm looking for prizm lens for Jawbreakers and was just going to buy them from ebay (about €25) but don't know if theyre simply coloured plastic or they have proper UV resistance and are shatter proof etc etc

Rogue-Trooper

Green SwissStop pads from CRC. Ordered last night before I went to bed and got an email at 07:24 this morning to say they'd been dispatched. Chose the free shipping option too!

I have been threatening to get a mountain bike for a few years and today I went for a spin on my road bike and have been feeling really mentally fried after a long season on the road again this year and the idea of doing mileage over the winter was filling me with dread, so it got me thinking I really need to mix it up the training a bit over the oncoming winter, i was toying the idea of cyclocross but there is a good mountain bike trail local to me so I said Id hit the button on an mtb instead, picked up a cube acid 27.5 with xt and deore gruppo and hydraulic brakes for 809 euro on chain reaction, looking forward to trying mountainbiking for a change but I really need to get the scissors to the damn credit card..... Oh no not that guilty pleasure feeling again....

My shiny new cannondale synapse disc! (refreshing the delivery status page all the time!)

it arrived this morning, not packaged very well and the seat stay on the drive side is marked & scratched from the front wheel banging against it.

Waiting on a response from Evans. Not happy right now. :mad:

Evans Customer "Service" is quite possibly the worst I have dealt with. I'll need to send a few angry messages on Facebook tomorrow in the hope that they'll finally get around to refunding my return postage on a faulty item.

CrowdedHouse

Topsport Vlaanderen short sleeve jersey (€22) and a couple of matching caps (2.80) from Vermarc outlet

(€10 delivery takes a bit of the shine off it though)

They are selling there own lenses NOT oakley genuine lenses. I got them because I can't get replacement oakley for any of my frames. Had some lenses already for my very old straights and they seen fine. The polarising works can't see the car radio.

I got some ventilated polarised lenses for my Oakleys a few weeks back and they seem very good, no issues with them so far. Price is good, delivery quick and reasonable, so I'm happy enough. I think they're almost better then the original lenses (which were not polarised)

Prefer nonpolarised wet roads and sun as my eyes don't distinguish the tarmac from puddles in polarised lenses.

I followed up with a call and 30 minutes later got an offer of a new bike, partial refund (around 10% of the purchase price), or voucher (which is of greater value than the refund). Can't complain about the service I received this time tbh.

A Fuji Sportif 1.1 with Shimano 105 and avid bb7 mech disc brakes for €750 on CRC, couldn't resist it. It will hopefully be a solid winter hack in the rain.
Convinced myself I needed it after I took a small bit of a slide yesterday on a corner in the rain. Said to myself right I need a winter bike with disc brakes for this carry on. (Course ive managed up to now with rims but that kind of thinking is no fun!) I will upgrade the saddle, seat post, stem and wheels once the credit card cools down again.

Fuji Sportif arrived, all good, lovely bike, but they sent the wrong size, so back it goes.....

Getting prepped for winter. I tell myself every year I won't wait until I'm halfway into a 100km+ icy spin before I decide to pull out the card...

Electric log splitter

Weepsie

Guerciotti Keo Pedals. Mostly pointless purchase, but I've a Guerciotti and I happened on them in eBay. They're not as good as the pedals that are even on the bike I'd say.
