My small Frog pond + guests

Thanks for the comments :) There's something about a pair of frogs, their clean simple minimalist design, taking the inspiration from that 'other brands' flagship plastic frame design and just improving it. And that light weight o matter frame, it's like you're not even wearing them!

At some point I'll pick up a pair of polished black with black irridium as that's the definitive (if but vanilla) look IMHO, I have a pair of LX's in that colour way as you can see, but I just can't get on with them. Yes the quality 'feels' nicer with the smoother acetate frames, and I really like the metal logos, but they are just noticeably heavier and just don't seem to fit me as well :-/

Got another set of crystal black with positive red come through off ebay, second hand but the lenses are pretty mint, so decided to put them in the skate deck's, I think the red/blue of the lense goes with the frame perfectly..

At some point will have to think about getting a display case and setting these all up, lol
The +red sure is nice, but think about blue iridium, ice or the new saphire ... :)
 
The sapphire would be spot on, but I couldn't bring myself to remove them from the matte blue frames :-/ Should've have taken advantage of the Black Friday deal I got on them, but funds didn't allow. One day another set will come up at the right price :)

These look awesome
 
Cheers dude!

So after fixing the wonky leg on the crystal black frame that the pos red's came from (is this a common problem on frogs, the leg mount didn't quite sit right on the right leg & would pop off really easily? The left leg of the skates did this too but fixed that at the same time) I decided to put the clear lenses in them as my 'safety glasses' as I think they look better... keeping eyes metal flake free in style!

Also tried them on my mates MC Snowman to improve on his non-removable pair, but I don't think he was having any of it!
