   are available from the us on eBay

   so after some hours and some searching I've realised that is "from the U.S." rather than "from us"
   

   So 3 options (no all available on all lens shapes)-
   - Black/Clear
   - Black/Persimmon
   - VR50 (is this black/pink?)

   Thinking VR50 sounds the best for everything except night riding.

   I've gone for black/clear for my Jawbones, see no reason not to, it's a wider range of transmission than the others.

   More questions:

   - is there a difference between 'transitions' and 'photochromatic'. Some places describe different Oakley lenses as being one or the other.

   Gold is a darker lens, without the "warmth" of VR28. Can you not just get a standard VR28 lens? (Still the most used of my M-Lenses)

   It's a brand thing, IIRC. Transitions is a brand name, and they make lenses which are photochromatic. I don't think O have always used Transitions for every one of their withcraft lenses.

   Decided to go for Black Iridium (vented) and spare pair Persimmons (vented).

   Thanks for all the advice...........

   Need further advice from the STW massive before placing order. Just been on the Oakley Custom site for Radar Path and the 'custom' lens choices are now extremely limited.

   Which of the following:
   Black, Fire, Ice, Positive red, Slate (all iridium)
   or
   grey, persimmon, yellow
   or
   Gold vented (no other vented lens available!!) gutted.

   Had wanted the 'plasma' (dark grey) frame but only alternative now is the polished white. Anyone know how 'dark' or 'grey' these are in the flesh as I don't really want a cheap bright white!

   So far my decision is: Polished white with positive red iridium lens, matte black icons and socks. Any advance on that (for both Road + MTB)

   Polished white is very white.

   Why get the custom ones if you're after a very 'normal' combo? Just buy some Plasma Radars, flog the lenses on here if you don't like what they come with and buy the ones you do want?

    Could be a very good option njee20

    I'll start scouring the web for plasma frames...............

    Looks like they're £104 at Winstanley's with gold iridium. Get at least £40 for the lenses I reckon.
