And yes, these are C5.

I have it from a very reliable source that these are in fact O-luminum!

UK release date is February 1st 2006.

Nothing yet on price

I stand corrected. I will be sure to give the guy I heard this from a thorough ear bashing and then a wide berth!

Thanks EC

thank you for the info E C

No sweat guys. I'm still trying to find more pictures (must..find...MORE) but no luck. Surely someone can find a few, Spike is supposed to be released in only 2-4 weeks. Is it bad form for me to request that?

colorways are in the DB now

cool, I may give it a try

That's great - thanks Cal.

Very cool, thanks Cal!

Looks good Cal. Still haven't made up my mind on these though.

I like 'em.

they look great, but im worried about the fit/comfort

i like them... it doesn't WOW me, but i still like some of it's design cues. i'll have to try it out when it's released, but just not with those gradient lenses.

Definitely not for me once again.
Looks too girly and fashion orientated.

Not for me, either.

wait and see , before judging......

Sorry Fred,but it will still be a no i'm afraid.

Light with Ti Iridium sounds classy

trust me , they look fantastic

I second that. Bought them today, Matte Black_Black Iridium...very very nice. You gotta give two-three looks in the mirror before liking them, but then, they look really relax ! Very comfortable fit too, surprisingly.

yeah tey are cool, i tried them when the rep came to my store.

comfortable, and very different

I got to try these last night and they were okay. The nose pieces don;t adjust out far enough to keep them away from my eye lashes though so it'll take some consideration to see if I get them or not.
