Custom Carbon Fibre Juliets - my homage to this wonderful design

It's not that sunny here in the UK, but here are a few new photos of the pair that I have been using.

The Romeo's and the Juliet's (titanium versions in the background (not that I am a photographer or anything )

I have recently re-lacquered the Juliets, but the Romeo's were lacquered over a year ago and they have held up well.

I found a really great lacquer from Germany that is Matt and soft to the touch. It's weird, it's very hard wearing and I use an airbrush to apply, once it is on, it gives the frame an unusually soft touch, hard, but soft (easier to feel than explain )

These are both first versions, hand finished and lacquered and for me, they are not yet good enough, although I have been wearing the Romeo's for over a year now....

But I have some improvements to make to the way I create them... last stage finishing, prior to lacquering etc.

I also need to improve the gasket that I laser cut, the Romeo's are ok, but I didn't have any good rubber to hand at the time, and the photos made me realise I need to re-cut them with some better, softer rubber.

Oh, and the rubber's on the Juliet's are bad copies, just waiting for some better ones to arrive.

Interestingly, the CF is approximately half the weight of the titanium versions:

And one last one where you can see the weave fibres in the nose bridge of the Romeo's
