Thx guys for the replies..as for me i wear contact lens and no need correction lens when using sunglass. I am seriously considering oakley radar path..it's around rm8++ - rm9++ when i asked around in KL..there also people selling around rm500-600 but im not convince wether it's genuine.

I also plan to get an asian fit and i asked oakley usa how to differentiate the asian fit version with the non asian fit and the customer service reply me with this. Basically what differs is the nose pad? The frame is the same?

CustomerCareOakley

The Infinite Hero glasses come with a second nose pad that allows you to adjust the fit of the glasses to Asian fit. The Asian fit models in general will have a J listed after the model number on the inside of the frame. The box should also be marked.

If you have any questions or would like immediate assistance please contact our Customer Care department at (800) 403-7449.

Best Regards,

I am sure some dealer in KL will carry asian fit of radar path. Just make sure u look out for the "j" in the model number and don end up like what I did (thankfully mine one wear well on my face). Better still try both of the same model but in different fit to spot the difference. Have u paid visit Reliance optical near Bangasr Village. They really had huge range of oakley glasses there and that where i got my oakley there too but not the prescription lens as it is wayy more expensive to do it in Malaysia then in australia.

I always had phobia wearing contacts and preferred to wear glasses. Does it hurt when wearing contact while cycling?

if u r going to get a rudy, please try them on first, do any kind of test u can think of. they are only a few rudy models which fit nicely on our asian face. noyz fits alright.

btw, read here if u want to know more about oakley's asian fit http://www.oakley.com/asian-fit

oakley include two different nose pads in the box, that's standard la. try the normal one first, coz sometimes you don't really need asian fit. my friend and i, we bought the normal one, not asian fit. and they fit perfectly.

first thing to mind... not aero... and troublesome if the lens gets mist... with smaller ones at least you can see out of the corners...haha

i wonder if the drag on the darn thing will help train for stronger neck muscles...

here is an interview on adronis giocatolli's team manager's view on rujano's plans on genting highlands stage 6... apparently he went too early as he was the one who was expected to win the race...

rudy project was super cheap when it was introduced here.. i remember buying a pair back in 2000 for only 100 bucks then at endah parade... nuts...

you jus joined rite... there is no initiation or membership fee... so no one is stopping you : )

welcome anyways.

you meant the titanium ones... you are looking for it for lightweight or durability? i heard they are light but the leverage and closing feel is kind of lacking compared to more conventional Zipp, Shimano DA or Campy titanium ones...

gnarly... but that is a condition known as varicose veins... he practically has problems with his veins bulging due to the inability to cycle the blood fast enough to not let it accumulate on his veins.. i think...

this is not so hard to look at... but veins still very visible... thanks to such a low percentage of body fat

TT bikes are supposed to be like that.. if the bike is too lively, then it will be very hard to control the bike while in an aero tuck...

that way, it is still possible to steer the bike in a stable manner while holding on the aerobars without it veering around every crack and crevice on the road...

they have mostly MTB stuff... why would you be interested in a jamis anyways? looking at the Ventura range? or Xenith?

The Ventura Comp was voted for the best sub 800 dollar bike in the market in 2009....

they are not bad for being a butted 7005 aluminum frame... xenith, i have yet to see one yet...

their xenith range is priced too high... they employed some technology they called net molding...

their bikes are actually quite worth it... they have trickled down technology from their top end bikes like shrouded front calipers and hidden rear calipers... all from their top end bikes.

the new 2012 ventura's are quite nice and they are usually spec'ed quite decently...

What do you guys think about classic steel road bikes? Apollo, Nishiki, Raleigh, Miyata and all the classic bikes of yestercentury? I think they are a beaut! Sturdy frame and reliable.

Too bad its hard too find bargains for rusty ol' steelers here. Always wanted to do a restoration project. Found them still hanging in old bike shops for 2k++. Its a shame it never rolled out and enjoy the road.

Here is a picture for you guys to drool on. smile.gif

Yeay. I bought a propero II. Initially I was aiming for prevail s works but I came to my senses that I'm not a pro racer hence I dialed down and get a propero II (and that after reading many reviews and was convinced that most of the technology and features from prevail had been transferred into propero II, and at half the cost too).

Just got back from a short ride and the ventilation is great rclxms.gif at least it feel much cooler now compare to my old met helmet (im positive that it is not a placebo effect from specialized marketing BS...it just works)

I love the shark-ish shape of specialized helmets..now I gained extra 5kmh on my average speed hahaha biggrin.gif

Read the reviews:
