Oakley shades through CWC

[Lance Roberts]

Hi everyone,

 

I hope this is the right forum because I'm not ranting, I'm raving.

 

I've been looking for a specific pair of Oakleys for a while now, but all the local shops told me that it's discontinued... So I went on the hunt for a helping hand.

 

That's when I got a reply from Marnitz at Chris Willemse Cycles in Willowbridge. He was the first person to offer some sort of help, and it turned out to be the helping hand that I was looking for.

 

Anyway, before I carry on too much, I just wanted to let everyone know that if you want to order a specific model of Oakleys, contact Marnitz, marnitz@cwcycles.co.za.

 

All you need to do is go to http://ie.oakley.com/custom/ , at this link you can chose your model and then custom fit it as you like, you can chose color if the frame, two types of lenses and even the color of the Oakley badge. This option is not normally available in South Africa but Marnitz will send the info directly to Italy for you and place order. It's even cheaper than buying it in SA.

 

It took a few weeks, which was the only down point, but when it arrived it made up for it.

 

So, if you're looking for some awesome shades, go to the link, chose your options, take a screen print of the outcome and send it to Marnitz. He will then get a quote for you to confirm.

 

So that's my rave, Marnitz was very helpful and replied almost instantly to all my emails. I will be using him again soon, so hopefully that's a good sign to anyone else.

 

Cheers,

 

Lance

 

PS. In case you were wondering, I'm not getting a cut of his sales from posting this, just feel like its rare that you get someone this helpful and willing to go the extra mile these days.

 

These are my new shades,

Thanks for this.

 

I am looking for the 'old' racing jackets.

 

 

[Lance Roberts]

Not sure how that will work, hopefully they can still supply older models. I got this Racing Jacket because of the frame color, and it's the new range, you can't get it in RSA.

sweet looking shades... and I don't normally like Oakleys.

[Lance Roberts]

Thanks mate, I got the polarized and Photochromic lenses with it. Gonna take them out for the first ride tomorrow. Can't wait!

I have a couple, what color you after?

[Marnitz Aucamp]

Die Bees.

 

I was able to find you a Racing Jaket (old style). Send me your details!!

[Wobbles]

Can you get me the old half jacket Marnitz?

[Vega]

OP, I share your frustration. Had lots of waiting (as in months) on more than one occasion trying to order Jawbones/Racing Jackets/lenses. Then by chance I found an optometrist in the old part of Rosebank Mall (Mews?), who not only get what I want within a week (even if they have to import), but are also generally cheaper than cycle shops. The owner feels strongly that bicycle shops should sell bicycles and optometrists should sell eyewear!

[Bobbo_SA]

Just wish CWC would take over (by brute force if needed) the distribution from Luxotica, their service is terrible, was was better when the guys in PE were doing it.

Hi Wobbles, Sorry all old Half Jackets are gone, only new style, please feel free to let me know if you want one!!
