Oakley M frame possible repair?

[cmunozh]

Hi guys,

I saw this Oakley in auction, the seller claims it was broken on the very first time he used it. Afterwards was kept in his vault.

My question is that the frame is broken and I donno if that can be repaired...

He is asking 50$

Thanks for heads up Jon

If that Heater lens is in the deal & good condition, then 5o squid is pretty good.

What you see is inside the 50$ price

What does "defo do-able" mean?

“Definitely able to do it”

Bloody English lingo!!

Can definitely be done

Could be fixed and painted or it could be snake skin wrapped. Wrapping really works well on cracked frames.

Most old m frames are cracked somewhere. Especially on the hinges and mid frame if the lens has been changed regularly or recently.

I am curious, how you would fix it? Epoxy glue maybe? Thanks

There are a few methods depending on the brake. But yes - various types of glue, filler and paint.

A bargain for all that
The lenses and box is worth 50!
