Most mythical Oakley pairs used in Cycling in 1995/2005

Bro what a picture, two great athletes and 2 greats oakleys, that M Frame seems very rare cauz internet makes the confusion with the new ones.
I have a question also, the racing jackets V 2 were just jawbones with a different lense no ?

Racing Jackets are simply renamed Jawbones with the addition of a hole at the end of the arms for the connection of a neck strap. Lenses are perfectly interchangeable...

Ok ty for info, I thought the glasses had those little "teeths" at the top.

I love Racing Jackets v2 and Jawbones but I prefer Racing Jacket V1, more bold design !

Except the jawbone livestrong, the chrome effect is too good, they are worth racing jackets v1 hahaha

And the different, larger (replaceable) Oakley icon on the arms of the RJ.

For me two other massive pairs of this era are not Oakleys, and so I struggle more to find info about them :

The Briko (Stinger I believe is the model) that Pantani wore during his victory in 1998 on the Tour

And these Rudy Project (I don't find anything about the model) that Ullrich wore the same year I think

The Rudy Projects are Ekynox or Ekynox SX. I had a pair of those a while back when my team was sponsored by Rudy Project (mid to late 2000s)

In road cycling, Ithink he was the first one to wear Oakleys with those iconic models, the RazorBlades and Eyeshades, for me the most mythical pairs together with the Pro M

Agreed...the Eyeshades, to me, are the true original cycling glasses. Though I always wore Blades/RazorBlades or M Frames as I felt they offered similar advantages with a cooler fit.
