I also just posted both of them in the Paint on a Ti Bike:

I actually have not posted the Parlee because it is still missing the final pedals.

PS. My latest purchase is that I just paid for a two year Elite Membership with Bike Forums!

Why did they rename the Jawbone to a Racing Jacket? I actually like this style. I had one (jawbone) but got destroyed on my bike accident.

It makes sense...for the longest time, I thought the jawbone glasses had a built in bluetooth. Granted, I never really paid attention to Oakley's until I started cycling.

no love for the oakley's!? is it the color combo, or the glasses in general?
after a few days of use, they are definitely all hype. nothing special at all.
oh well, live and learn!

hated - HATED my jawbones. They fit me terribly, I find them ugly, and they feel chinsy. I've got a rotation of radars and I love them.

I've used Oakley sunglasses since about 1996 or so when I got my first pair of Eye Jackets - after picking up some fake POS ones in Daytona Beach FL that summer. In those 17 years I've had 2 pairs of Eye Jackets and one pair of A-wires. I still use the A-wires every day, and the Eye Jackets still get use for yard work and such.
Problem I found with the A-wires for cycling is that they just don't provide enough coverage to keep debris out. Had a tough time with lots of debris getting in my eyes during a commute home last week. So I'm going to have to fine something else with more coverage.
Because of Oakleys I pretty much can't stand eyewear that curves down behind the ears. I need the side pieces to be straight or nearly so for it to be comfortable for me.

My brother has dusted off his 1992 Cannondale R600 and started going on group rides. He told me he wants "break shifters" like the others in the group. So I bought him these Shimano A070 7 speed brifters to somewhat modernize his 7speed 105 drivetrain.

I did it on Friday and the price was a little more than I would have liked ($250) but it was a 3 hour process with a guy who seemed highly qualified and with a background in Physiology. He was able to determine that I did not have a leg length discrepancy (which I thought I had). If anything, it has eased my mind a bit knowing that I have had a professional assist me with my setup. Early results are positive (only twenty miles so far but no pain). I ended up raising my seat and moving it forward, adding footbeds with arches to correct my pedal stroke, moving my pedals out a few mms with some pedal washers, and flipping my stem. He also recommended that I get a shorter stem but I'm going to wait on that to see how this current setup feels.
I developed a pain on my left IT band and some lower back pain last year and wanted to get a fit before I did any damage. The fit includes free check-ins for the next 3-4 months to ensure that everything is working. If I'm able to ride pain and injury free then the $250 is well worth it.

O
if they are free of scratches, I would exchange them for some Radarlocks. For road cycling I prefer Radarlocks over Racing Jackets.
Clean them up, and if they could be sold as "new", you shouldn't have trouble exchanging them for Radarlocks.
