Hincapie´s Sunglasses

I´m sure folks caught the quick interview with George on Versus this morning. I can't figure out what glasses he's wearing - they've got to be Oakleys but couldn't find them on the site. Not sure I love the white, but they look pretty slick so I'd like to find out more. Hopefully one of you guys out there has a little help for me.

Thanks.

Matt

George has always been on the cutting edge of fashion eyewear. Almost every year there's a thread about his sunglasses. Sorry... I can't help with the model of this year's specs.

I did see him wearing some white Oakley Thump Pro's (mp3 player) warming up before the TT. I was going to buy some, but with perscription lenses they were going to run me $600...screw that.

i think hincapie intentionally tells oakley to send him the most butt-ugly sunglasses they can make
