Metal Frogskins >?

[Spectre]

Hey all, I am wondering if Oakley ever made the frogskin frame in a light weight metal alloy of some kind ?
LIke the Oakley frogskin fallout kind of look like brushed metal but I was disappointed to find they actually are not!..
Any ideas on the most in-destructable frogskin frame made ?

the only real metal frogs I suppose would be the lx frame. there is a metal skeleton running through the accitate frame. mind my spelling. or any chrome fmj frogs. I suppose there is a metal skin over those.

just keep your eyes open on here and eBay. the koston craftsman has zero metal or resembles metal at all. I just had 2 but I sold a pair last week to a fellow collector. I also had 2 of the Supreme gold and chrome but both of them now down to one. I will look for you as well.

Unfortunately there has never been a metal Frogskins frame, but I would love to have a pair if they ever made one!

A full on metal Frog would be cool. I could get into something like that. This post grabbed my attention for a minute.

Hey thanks all, Interesting, ya I thought they had made some out of a special alloy however now that I think about it, It may have been a health and safety issue, Ie if you crash your dirt bike and the arm of the glasses penetrate the skull that would not feel too good.

There are actually model with different metal alloy used to build frame so it is not actually a safety issue as mentioned. Having a frogskins with metal alloy is a bit impractical, surely it will be too heavy regardless of the alloy used and might cost high.
