Coordinating Oakleys to your Bikes, Cars, Clothing, and Accessories

[rzurzel]

Beautiful bike! From your frame geometry, I would guess you're around 6 ft 1 in tall, or in the neighborhood. How close am I?


The easiest match IMO would be an Infrared Jawbone with Fuse Chrome lenses! My Vette was slightly older. I sold it years back. It was unnerving grinding the front end of the car against almost every driveway I encountered HAHA

Except, the entire UAE team including 3X TDF winner Tadej Pogačar all use Shimano and other custom parts on their Colnago bikes... and they could use any brand parts they want, as money for gear is no object. Maybe Shimano offers better support with their parts? Campagnolo are definitely high-end and boutique, but maybe they can't offer the back up that Shimano can?

If you look on Colnago's website, you can choose Campagnolo for the groupset, but all of their "stock photos" show the bikes with Shimano or SRAM parts. I think it's odd that Colnago doesn't promote the fully Italian version more.

What I meant was that colnago is a respected, prestigious manufacturer and the fact that its Italian makes it a good match with another respected italian manufacturer, especially on a vintage looking Flyer's bike.

Agreed.

Now THAT is a fat bike! Wow! I think I see SRAM Eagle NX mechanical in the back, right? For the next pic, go to the other side of the bike, so the fade of the bike lines up with the fade of the Flak 2.0! Killer!

I don't know much about watches, but I really like that Omega. Every nice watch I've ever owned ends up going right out the door. I just don't wear them. It's not the watches, it's me. The only watches I've managed to be loyal to are my Garmins during exercise.

That's a 2020 Salsa Beargrease, I love it! I hunted that bike down during the pandemic, it was the only large in that color left on the east coast. I drove about 300 miles round trip to get it. I came with a Deore drivetrain- but I have learned to hate Shimano over the years. My other bikes have Eagle GX, but I put NX on this because its ridden primarily in sand and muck, and an NX derailleur is cheaper to replace when it wears out. Also- I scored a carbon Stylo crankset on ebay for like $125. That bike is almost as much carbon as a bike can be. Ironically my fatbike is currently my lightest bike.

Part of me wants to find another pair of Harmony Fade Flaks and install blue icons and lenses to go with the blue accents on the bike.

Omega put out a white OEM rubber strap for their Paris 2024 limited edition Seamaster. It looks awesome on this watch! I never intended to match all my stuff but that's how it is now...

I have a couple other watches with glasses that kind of match, I'll post those later.

This project has been several months in the making. This is my new road bike... a Canyon Roadlite CF 9 LTD... the only one of its kind in the US to my knowledge. This bike was only sold outside of the US by Canyon, but I had one of my Canadian friends buy it and forward it to me. It's very unique as it is a super-light road bike, but set up like a mountain bike, with high-end components from both the road bike and mountain bike realms. Thank you to @lloydrose for helping me get this bike! It was a lot of trouble for both of us, but I'm glad he agreed to help me, and that we went for it. Check out the custom Jawbone that coordinates with this new bike!

What brand is that carbon seat?

It's a Chinese brand called RYET... I love this saddle, I have 3 of them.

It was stressful from the first day we decided to try this! My bank was totally confused by me wanted to send Canadian funds to Canyon Bicycles in Germany LOL

I see the bike is now Sold Out so unless someone else was crazy enough to try what you did, my guess is you have the only bike like this in the USA
