Big Ray

I went to my local Dynaic Vision optometrist with a pair of old oaley's that I am no longer able to get lenses for, they indicated that their lab should be able to replicate a set of lenses, I didn't take it any further but perhaps that is an option for you.

Looking for a bike is half the fun, I agree with the advice given, choose a bike with the highest spec you can find within your budget, it will make riding that much more enjoyable, having said that you don't know what you don't know and therfore it cannot hurt you but if the bug bites, you will notice the short commings of a 5k makro bike very quicky. Hydraulic brakes are a good place to start as the spec of the rest of the components should also be of a reasonable spec. Enjoy the journey.
