Default which shops sell oakleys?

ello.

bored of ron atkinson now, and seeing as it's turned sunny i fancy a new pair of shades. i had oakley frogskins before, always seemed good for long distance driving in bright conditions. anyone know where i can get them? don't want to buy online as i want to make sure they are comfortable, and also that i only look moderately stupid when wearing them, before buying.

cheers.

Local cycling shops could be a good place to start.

Alternatively, the Oakley website used to have a shop locator which included the UK.

tried the oakley website - directed me to some place in california

unfortunatley the only bike shops round here are halfords and other half *rsed type outfits that don't stock proper gear. suppose i'll have to get off my *rse and go into town.

You can buy from Oakley direct I believe.

I had some very loud Skiing shades bought from US and I broke the legs. Couldn't get them replaced as they were no longer made but Oakley said if I sent them back I could buy any shades from their range half price!!!

Got £120 shades for £60. Well impressed. It was a few years ago though.

Vision Express, strangely enough as not known for their outdoor pursuits angle, tend to have a reasonable range in at any time.

Thumbs up

all sorted - turned out that a shop round the corner does them.

went in thinking: frogskins - £75

came out: E-wire 2, Blue Iridium. £ a bit more!

never knew buying shades was so complicated - there's about a million different styles and colours. the rather cute sales girl was very patient.
