Dreadhead Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 (edited) Nate the Seek FC fototech with the day night lenses. I already had the Logic with the same lens which I really like. The trails around here have a lot of varying lighting conditions and they work great for me. BTW I got them from my shop to support them but Amazon has great prices.

VPI Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 I want some Ari glasses. Just finished my first shop group ride. Kicked my ass a bit. It was only 13.5 miles but I had to push to keep up with the group and had over 600 feet of elevation gain in those 13.5 miles. Of course the whole group got split pretty quickly as the leaders went through a light and left those in the back half on our own. Rode with the leaders of that group for the rest of the ride but they were not the serious guys, no way I could keep up with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreadhead Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Good work getting out for a ride. I only made it to the gym today because I had promised Ben we'd go in the "pool" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 None of those linked shades appear to have the fototech lenses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreadhead Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Nate the amazon description is wrong but the only Seek FC with "carbon" frame is fototech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Thanks Chris. Actually, on the Carbon/Grey combo when I click the expanded description it does mention fototech. They don't make it easy to find though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pars Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Might have to try those also. Currently I'm using some Bolle Vigilante with interchangeable lenses, but sometimes get caught in between and obviously am not going to stop to switch lenses (and usually don't have them with anyhow).

Dreadhead Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Well after the first ride in them my review is that they are great and really great for the money. The only thing that would make them even better for me was if they were available polarized but I don't think that exists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VPI Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Do they feel like they will hold up over time? I do not know that I need two pairs of riding sunglasses but these are so low priced maybe they can just live in the car in case I forget the Oakleys.

Dreadhead Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 My other Tifosi glasses are 2+ years old I think and look basically new with only very minor lens scratching after a lot of dropping (though none at speed). Their frames are a lot less fragile than the Oakley plastic (or at least the Oakley's I used to own) and the other thing I like is that you can bend the area with the rubber to get them to grip less/more. These ones are much lighter feeling though. I have no skin in the Tifosi game I'm just a fan not a shill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrion Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Dom got me motivated with a mtb ride yesterday. Going back for another ride this afternoon. This time I will remember to put my GoPro on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VPI Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 Spent the morning putting the Cervelo on a diet. Not sure if I will keep the diet gear on the Cervelo or put it on the overweight Calfee. Probably at least upgrading the Calfee to Red from the Force that is on it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 I did a slow 5 today. I really got out of shape in the last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 Jeff, if you make the move to red let me know. I might be interested in some of the force bits. And 14lbs, sheesh. Me: did 62.5 non-stop this morning in just a tick over 3:30. Felt good but I'm pretty shagged now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VPI Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 ^^^I would be pretty in the emergency room right now if I did that ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boomana Posted July 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 I did nothing today. Chose to sleep in, which I needed. It's been raining this afternoon, but if it clears, I might try to get in a short ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raffy Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 Nice ride Nate! Started my ride around 11:30 this morning and it was hot as balls. After a few miles though, the heat stops bothering me. I guess I've heat-acclimated myself. I was aiming for 2 24-mile loops but my legs started to threaten a lockout around mile 34 so I decided to head back to my car. Overall it was a really good ride for me as I was strong all the way up to the point my legs told me to fuck off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VPI Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 Only able to get a really short ride in today and it looks like rain might make any chance of a ride tomorrow nil. Rain is coming down now here. The new wheels seem better able to fight crosswind than the Zipps but it seems like there is more flex in these than the 404s. Taking a pound off the bike doesn't really show much in the little ride I went out on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raffy Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 The R5 looks great Jeff! Carbon fiber FTW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreadhead Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 Jeff that sounds about right on the stiffness. They do weight 400+grams less. That said I'm not sure that the stiffness difference will make any difference in efficiency and they certainly ride smoother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
