Nice idea - I'll make a donation to Born Too Soon at my local hospital who helped us when our son was born prematurely last year ( http://www.borntoosoon.org.uk/). I'm jumping out of a plane for them on Saturday, so if anyone fancies putting some oakley savings towards sponsoring me, I'd appreciate it! 🙂

I use to wear Oakley's years ago but stopped buying them when I had to wear glasses but recently started to wear contacts for riding. I admit I took advantage of Oakley's cock up to try them out again after years of using Adidas but must admit I didn't think i'll be getting them free, they never even tried to take any money off me 😀

And thanks Vinnyeh for posting the link when you did 🙂

Charity begins at home, so I'll be spending the money on more bike bits to keep in my home... Is that allowed?

Bugger!

I toyed with the options on the site, built up a nice pair that I liked and even placed it in the basket

I had a strong suspicion the order wouldn't be honoured, so I didn't go through and checkout

Ah well

Very impressed with Oakley for honouring the orders

I have just one pair of Oakley's, my prescription Kickstand 2.0's. The rubbery ear bits started to split after several years of use, I emailed Oakley & they sent 2 new pairs of the rubbery bits FOC

I'll just have to console myself by buying something else instead, anyone seen any other bargain-tastic offers around for bike stuff? I didn't really need the sunglasses, but at that price who could resist...oh wait 😆

Damn good idea about the donation thingy and I will do so for Dougie Mac. Had my card cancelled last night but it's all been sorted now and glasses are on their way in a couple of weeks - nice one.

I was on the verge of pulling the trigger on a set of custom Jawbones on the Monday night when they were still full price. Decided to sleep on it and went back to have a look the next morning where they were suddenly showing up massively discounted so I clicked to order!

Well, they arrived this morning 😀

Missed the cheap period, so a bit peed off, but they'll still get my custom as my twenty's and half jackets are still the most comfy pairs of glasses I've had - loads better than the cheap Endura ones I picked up at SITS last year.

420 quid has been "authorised" on my credit card, but not actually billed yet (order was only 140).... so am keeping a close eye on that! Otherwise, I am "in progress" too

Why do I keep looking at this tread. I missed out by minutes..but the fact remains, I missed out.

Out of interest, can those lucky sods post what time they ordered. I want to see who got in the latest. I now want to know how many minutes I missed out by.

By the way, if anyone got a black frames Jawbone with transition lenses, I'll happily pay 10 times what you got charged for them (plus postage). 😉

I missed out through choice for good reasons but on reflection and with 20/20 hindsight, that clearly worked out badly. Oh well if that's the worst that happens in my life, I think I'll be happy 😀

same here.
it would have been nice to have got some for free but i decided i couldn't be buying sunglasses for 80 quid when i'm unemployed, regardless of how much they should have cost. oh well, they're only sunglasses!

Just got the "despatched" email from Oakley, where are they coming from? All the UPS stuff looks like it's coming from the US?
