Show me your Romeo 2

I was honestly surprised too—I thought the guys would flood the thread with at least a few pages of photos and there’d be plenty to drool over.

Can you tell me your experience with them? How do they compare to other frames?

I haven’t restored mine yet, so I can’t give an objective opinion at this point—I still need to do a nose bridge tune-up and replace the lenses, since the original ones are a bit worn out. That said, they do feel quite strange after wearing Juliets, especially because they touch the upper part of my cheek. I believe the fit will improve after I complete the nose bridge tune-up.
That’s why I’m currently gathering information on which lens and rubber combinations will look best, and as soon as I finish the process, I’ll be sure to share the results in the thread.

Thanks for the details. Hopefully more people post their R2.

I just have the one. I’m fond of Tsuyakeshi Matte Black for lenses and Linegear’s Gray Rubber set for my basic non-custom X-Metals.

Very solid look. It has some military touch.

I often hear stories like that, but of course they never happen to me . My best find this year was a pair of Hatchet for $50, and even then I had to restore the logo and the nose pads.

Oh, believe me I've had some major results, this one of them. Being observant and knowing the different lines helps and using the net for information is the final thing.

One thing I didn't mention, it's deffinitely got harder, with all the FAKES which have flooded the net, since the Lux takeover.

They have to be the lightest of the entire x- metal line?
