Actually, they're kinda cool. Maybe a person wearing them can freak other riders out and drop them easier!

I had a pair of rudy project, mmmmmmm whatevers..............
Great for visibility while hunched over the bars due to the frame sitting hi on the brow.
I would have bought them again, but the frame broke one day after falling from my face to the tile floor as I took off my helmet. I was shocked the frames snapped, but **** happens.''
As far as cycling glasses go I really think Rudy and Oakley make the best stuff for comfort and visibility.

zerorh+ all the way. Hard to find in the US, but well worth it if you can get a hold of them.
Just my two cents.

I've seen Jan wearing Rudys in the mountains that are frameless on the bottom edges. Does anyone know what model they are? I haven't had a very good look at them from the front (French media).

Probably Freeon's or Rydons. Of course, there's no way anybody here will be able to purchase the same glasses Jan has.... Not that I would want to have the glasses or anything with the rainbow stripes on them, for so many reasons.
My girlfriend actually saw a picture of Jan with those glasses and asked if he was wearing them for gay pride.
Heh. That would be cool I guess, but in the pro-peloton *****exuals would have to have some other designation besides the rainbow if they wanted to show their "colors".

Any way I noticed on their web site that they have a lens replacement guarantee. So I sent them the lenses and got a new pair for a small handleing fee. I don't know if they'll replace your broken frames but it may be worth a try.

The glasses you see Jan wearing are the factory sponsored editions of the glasses. I could get a pair if I agreed to exclusivly wear Rudy glasses but I love my Oakley's and I have two pairs.

You could wear them with your yellow jersey on your Livestrong Trek, I guess...
