About 10-15 years or so ago and in my early days on this forum I'd always be getting in styles of Oakleys that I hadn't had before and wanted to try - a bit of a casual collection I guess, though there were only a few styles I ended up keeping in the long term (most of them went to almost as quickly as they came!) Nowadays I only have a few pairss that I've kept hold of because they're used regularly - original Flak jacket for MTB, Radar for road, one pair of original Frogskins for everyday summer wear and too many other pairs of old 90s Frogskins to count, sitting in drawer for safe-keeping!
Out of the blue recently I bought a pair of modern Sliver R violet iridium sunglasses that are like a modern Frogskin and I haven't quite warmed to them, but it's given me an appetite to try some more Oakleys, probably more for casual use than on the bike. Right now there's not something particular in mind that I want - even the regular RX glasses as I'd consider reglazing them if I like the frames. Drop me a line if you have something either old or modern that you might want to part with and I'll see if it takes my fancy!
