    About 12 years ago I bought my gf a pair of oakleys, they werent really biking glasses, not M frames, but I really liked them and am trying find whatb they were called, she eventually broke them in her handbag. Anyway does anybody here have any idea what model they might have been.

    They were plastic, black frame and then the lenses were round silver with a black plastic wide edge to make the whole lens eliptical.

    They looked great on a road TT ride but were crap offroad.

    Any ideas? i tried looking on ebay at pics and google images but there are so many models its hard without a model name.

    Any ideas?

    subzero? There were lots of different models similar to these with slightly different shapes.

    nope not the right ones… had a good look on the net and the ones I am after have a plastic rim underneath the lens, not above.

    If u take them to an Oakley stockist, they can give u a freepost
    box to send them bk, and Oakley will get in touch with u about what
    can be done.

    theyre a very early version of zeroes – the zeroes came in numerous designs over hte years, from memory these were around 95/96

    I've had plenty of pairs of Oakleys over the years, but those really do come under the heading of ‘idiosyncratic styling’,
    that's for sure. Much prefer my Frogskins.

    My gf had THESE

    The lenses are more silver than in the picture and were a little freaky and I loved borrowing them. Next I'll have to see if I can trck some down. It isnt for a warranty claim as I know oakley are one of the worlds best companies for warranty, its just cos I fancy a pair. Weord but true.

    Cheers all!

    They are part of the zero range, and Oakley don't stock them anymore,
    or have any spares. Sorry. My missus works in optics and emailed them today.
    If u think they're fixable it may be worth sendin them bk anyway or they
    might offer u a discounted replacement. Hope this helps

    My first ever Oakleys were a paid of blue iridium sub zeros. Great glasses, ridiculously light. When they started to look a bit dated I used them under my motorbike helmet as they fitted well. Snapped them in two in my pocket a couple of years back – I was gutted.
