Hey Guys! so this is a build post, of something that I've wanted to do for a long time, recreate the Wire SubZero from the original Oakley Ads, circa 1991/1992.

Now, Courtesy of Dann Thombs (Creator of www.O-review.com), I have the Original Patent Diagrams to work from.
(Original Diagrams)
Notice parts are an interesting assortment - arms are from a Gen1 Mframe!
This is a list of parts I need, If you have some, please contact me..
1x Positive Red Lenses
1x ANY scratched up Mframe lens (not ballistic), with the hook/tabs intact
1x Zero or Mframe Nose Piece.
A big thank you to Rustpot, who has kindly donated the following:
1x Mframe Nosepiece (stand-in till i have a zero nosepiece, they are close but not exact)
3x Used Mframe Lenses (1 with good lens but broken catch, and two ballistic lenses scratched-up for practice)
The Following has been purchased:
1x Pair of Gen1 Mframe stems (from monster_beetle, aka Cult89)
1x Gen2 Zero 0.4 with damaged lenses.. will be donor for the frame hinges. (from dcl10)
Here is the Current Progress! Wire frame (almost) complete!
and the frame done
with a 0.4 lens for a test fit
colormatched hinges
