A one-off and vintage set of Oakley E-Wires from the mid-1990s. Rare and proper-retro version with the full-length earsocks (basically the arms on this version of the E-Wires were taken from the A-Wires of the time). The frame finish is 'dark' and the lenses are gold iridium. What makes this pair unique is that there was no dark/gold iridium Oakley colourway - I created this pair myself by swapping out lenses and frames to create what I think is a nice combination. (I prefer gold iridium both to look through and to look at, over black iridium.)

These are in good condition considering they are 15+ years old - frame is straight with arms nice and tight, there are a couple of minor marks but they are not at all scruffy. Same for the lenses, a few fleck marks to the outer surface of the lenses but that's all. To top it off they will come with the original Oakley bag - and the old 90s silver style one, not the modern black one. Reduced to £50 posted.

Interested in any swaps mate?
 
I do have gold ano pulley bolts and a headcap bolt. Also 1 pair of gold ano bottlecage bolts and a gold ano seatclamp bolt. Anything you might like?

Don't need the gold pulley bolts that badly and I'm sorted for the rest I'm afraid - I would have had your Tune skewers a couple of weeks back though, typical! :roll:
