Taylor Phinny going OG...

[FlashUNC]

From the Tour of Dubai. You do you Taylor. You do you. I really hope this guy crushes Roubaix one day.

Oakley reintroduced them as part of a Heritage Series. You too can be cool for $200!

Wonder how much $ Taylor got for wearing these..good for him...one of the chapters of Lemond's book, about making as much $ as you can, as early as you can...plus being 'artificiallly light', something else Taylor 'seems' to be doing....good for him..and like Greg, clean..or Connie would kill him...

It's book by him about being a pro cyclist, not a bio, I'll look.

Greg lemond's complete book of bicycling (A Perigee book)
Greg Lemond (17)


Amazon has it.

Nice! He seems to have a good sense of humor about stuff.

Are there any other Americans coming up through the pro ranks that will figure in the classics?

Different strokes. IMO, they're the ugliest shades I've seen in a while. Won't be holding it against him, however.

The Factory Pilot's make that nice route from being so terrible they become awesome. Well, that and Andy Hampsten/Greg LeMond.

And these are nowhere near the ugliest Oakleys ever produced:

The pilot's look a little bigger than the originals, imo.

. . . to wear. Oakley "Over the Tops." If I rode without a helmet, with my shaved head I would look like a total space alien. But I wasn't willing to go without the helmet. :(

the originals covered most of your face, too. i think not having the "OAKLEY" logo on the lens makes the new ones look bigger. just add a proper brow-pad and you'd be all set.

Price per square inch seems quite reasonable.

Back in the day they weren't that bad. They haven't age well that's for sure! I had a pair of Oakley Sub Zero's way back then. Those were cool, if they brought them back I would buy a pair.

dad w/ eyeshades back in the day:
