    I was looking at glasses recently (bought a blu ray player instead) . But i really liked the look of the Rudy Project range, I think it was Project Rydon with transition prescription lenses.

    Need to get some though as there's been a few times I've got flies and unknown other crap in my eyes.

    If anyone is interested, I have a set of brand new, never worn Oakley M-Frames with clear and smoke polarised lenses in the M-Frame case. Genuine Oakleys bought in an Oakley shop and still have the retail boxes somewhere too.

    I might be willing to part with them if the price is right :D

    I ride in disposable contact lenses and Bolle Contour safety glasses. I think I paid £14 for clear and smoked versions including postage from ebay.

    no, not gone to bed, though it does tend to get quite after 10 around here

    yeah come down anytime you want cheshley, i'll take you round

    on the menu at springslade they only have two options and both seem slightly pretnetous for oatcakes, one has all kinds of stuff in it and the other one is some concotion including stiltion?. though im pretty sure if they have oatcakes they would fix up whatever you wanted in them, there very freindly there

    you carnt recomend a good chain tool can you, im after one that is seperate from a mutli tool (i broke the one on my multitool)

    I have the one on my multi tool and a separate one although I don't know what it is and I've never needed to use it as I have SRAM chains
