don't think MC Hammer now, I am talking about the Juliets! LOL!


As we all know, The Juliets doesn't come in hammer earstems except for the Polished frames, which in my opionion is very limiting. I know there are a handful of us who prefer hammer earstems over the straight arms. (Too bad the Carbon Ichiro didn't come that way and we all know that the picture on the web is a mistake.)-we heard that before.

O.K. so it does't mean it can't be done. Here is how and who is willing to do it? I did some of mine's

here are some ideas:
1)X-Metal Frame exchange from Romeo or XX
2)TiO2 exchange from Romeo or XX
3)Plasma (gen 2) exchange from Romeo (gen 2) or XX
4)Titanium (gen 1) exchange from Romeo (gen 1)
5)Titanium (gen 2) exchange from Romeo (gen 2)
6)24K frame -sorry guys ,me only!

Very nice Cal, I am also a fan of hammer stems, I have thought of making carbon hammerstems using paint/epoxy that will bond to metal, any idea what brand of paint to use or if such a paint exists? Anyway, Mars Leather/Gold with Romeo hammer stems

Thanks Ed, with Lee's help it will be even better. Lee where you at?



Ah, so it's you Ben, that piece is a thing of beauty! Was that from the $12 Romeos that came in broken pieces ( a while back from ebaY?)

Oh you know it Cal, I couldnt just let those beautiful hammerstems sit in my X-Metal spare parts drore. I gave Todd the nose bridge though, still waiting to see what he has in mind for it.

thank guys. Like I said, the Carbon Ichiro would have been really special if it came in Hammerstems. I always wonder if Ichiro chose the polished because it the only Juliet frame that came in hammer arms or is it because of the frame color


added 3 more to the collection:

Now I love hammers too: the springs of my square wire 2.0 didn't push enough on my head because my head is not so large. So I closed the earstems at the ends but in that way they pushed out the top of my ears...
Today, wearing my Blender 4.0, I was thinking "I would like if all oakleys would be so comfortable...", then I looked my Square Wire 2.0 and this is what I created: an awesome hammerized wire. (and it fits me perfectly!)

Awesome customs, that Square Wire looks crazy Daniel! Well, you're lineup is (still) very unique Cal... I'm amazed how good green rubbers look on x-metal hammers.
