Been an Oakley owner for many years. Still own my first purchase, a serialized plasma Juliet JEXXXXXXA which I just got back from Oakley after a full tune-up. Also own a serialized Juliet Ducati first gen. Also got from Oakley new very hard to find new lenses for my Water Jacket. I own 12 total pair, have sold many in the past 2 months, and trying to sell some of my later models, to add some of the X-metal classics to my collection (X-Metal, Romeo 1, Penny, X-Squared). However, I use my pairs. No point to have them on a shelf.

Welcome Marc .... your user ID and Name seem familiar.. may i ask where you are from?

I use that ID in various sites. Oakley forum, here, and a few others. I lived in Seattle and San Diego, now in Miami.

WELCOME!!!

Does anyone know why the Badman is considered an X-Metal? I understand the frame is O-matter. They're OK, but I prefer the Juliet and all the classic X-metals by far (X-metal, Juliet, Romeo, X-squared, Penny).
Cheers

Yeah, Badman and Madman use aluminum and o matter. The use of 'x metal' is meant as the design language and not the frame material.

I understand that X-Metal comes from the actual material which is titanium base and not alloy. That's why I researched what the Badman was made of and was surprised that they are even included in the "X-Metal" family. I own a few real classic X-Metals.

Welcome!
