How did I end up with five pairs of exta sunglasses?


These five pairs of sunglasses will be leaving my closet as part of my total purge. They're in varying conditions with all having at least some life left in them.

From the top, moving counter-clockwise:

1) Big Italian-style fashion sunglasses, similar to the ones some of the Pelaton wore this season including Tyler Hamilton (in Prada) and the big-ass ones Mark Cavendish wore after his stage wins this past July. Nearly new--asking $15.

2) Tortoise shell Peppers brand wraparound sunglasses. Decent shape with some spots on the lenses. I think all they need is a thorough cleaning. $5

3) Green framed Extreme Optiks brand sunglasses. Almost new, asking $15.

4) Smith brand "Remix Smoke" sunglasses. Great quality frames. One lens is scratched. These would be great for putting in prescription lenses. $10

5) Anarchy brand "Chaos" wraparound sunglasses. Very cool smoky translucent frames with what looks like a metal core for strength. Also great for converting to prescription. A few good scratches in the lenses. Retail was $75. Asking $10.

Consider one, several or all of these if you buy a bunch of stuff from me. The more you buy, the cheaper your package gets. Stay tuned for a big comprehensive Garage Sale listing on RoadBikeReview, and Rec.bicycles.marketplace.

I'll put some stuff here

Hi there. I'm having another one of my sales to rid myself of bike-related things I no longer need. Most of it doesn't have enough value to warrant an eBay auction, though is potentially useful enough to be recycled on someone else's bike.

Almost all of my stuff from my sale in March sold. Then, I found more stuff dating back to my days as a kid in the 1980s when I built bikes from boxes of parts from a defunct shop.

Enjoy!
