yes unfortunately 15 is the smallest, ive been wanting some smaller ones for my mars but oakley dont do it.

and i dont think you can stop the middle bit from getting loose, i think the more you wear them the looser they get.
if you send them back to oakley they will tighten them up for you.

so when is the new 2007 x-metal comming out?

I spoke with someone at HQ today, and they said it's not left the paper yet. Not 100% sure, but pretty reliable guy. I wouldn't even mind seeing it on paper.

What is the common problems for an X-Metal for you??

Heavy, expensive and that people often think "Oh my god, another freak that wants to be a super hero".

And that Nosebridge Problem is another point to. To avoid that rubbers that hold the frame together getting loose you should put your X-Metal on from above, not from the front (hard to describe with the 3 english words I know).

Im with Julien on that one. putting ur x metal from the front tends to spread the nose bridge apart hence loosening the the rivets and the couplers. U should put it on from the top of your head to avoid pulling the 2 sides apart from eachother. But when it comes to someone making fun of me wearing one, I just better not hear it lol! :-D It might be a fist to the mouth haha!

Totally agree. That's the normal way I wear them, from top. So all my Juliet still in top condition. I already changed the my frame of my polished juliet 2 time, carbon 1 time due to the loosing nose part problem.

so is the new x metal going to be out this year?

yes.

that is what they keep saying but nobody knows for sure. Someone even said, what they're suppose to release isnt on paper yet which means its looking sketchy :-(. We all hope it does come out this year

Thank Guys..

But, do you think it would be the 2nd generation of Juliet that will come out??

what they're suppose to release isnt on paper yet which means its looking sketchy

There's a contradiction in terms

Hah! Always the cunning linguist you are...

puleeezze I said "Hmmm I'm interested in hearing more about Nanowire does anybody have the skinny" and nobody even blinked an eye. Now that's funny.

I have decided not to care if or when the new X-Metal is released.
That way I won't be disappointed when the months pass and there is no news about it.
Of course, when it is available, I will probably one of the first people at the store trying them on :)

The rate things are going I'd put better odds of Elvis being found alive than seeing a new X-Metal any time this decade. I'm not holding my breath.

I hope this year, & also hope it's not Romeo 2 price range.

It will be Romeo 2 price range.

Why is the Romeo 2.0 so expensive? I know it looks cool, but for me it's not enough.
I hope the new X-Metal will also look outstanding.

I hope it isnt a half metal like romeo 2. I hope its gonna be a full framed x metal. Easier for us to custom cut lenses for them that way :-)

I like the half-frame look too. And it's much lighter then.
