Sold Romeo 2 (project frame) $225 SOLD

Region

North America

For sale is a pair of Romeo 2 — Polished frame.

These are beaters and need repair. The screw that holds the lens on left side is STRIPPED. I don’t have the time nor patience to send them to get the screw drilled out.
ALSO — the nosebridge pins need replacing.
Also note, indentations/slight bridge damage on the front and backside of nosebridge caused by improper pin replacement. This was my fault; I ordered a pin pusher from flea-bay thinking it wouldn’t be too difficult to replace however, I was put in my place lol
(don’t do what I did — send them to one of the amazing x-metal restoration experts on here). Minor paint loss/scratches on icons. Temple screws and right lens screw are NOT stripped (only left lens screw is).
Aftermarket lenses and rubbers. I don’t have the original lenses or rubbers because they were absolutely shot. Nosebridge Is tight but not pretty one bit, unfortunately.

The reasons above reflect the lower price.

Asking $225 shipped, conus for these. ^

That might be the worse pin dimple I have ever seen!

Your pin pusher/setter should have come with two pins that can be changed out. One smaller than the other. A small one for pushing the pin out. And a wider one for pushing the pin back in. Almost looks like you used the small one for both jobs.

my pin pusher was directly from Linegear and (now I know it) by mistake came with only one narrow end bit. So I wasn't aware of them being two at all for a period of time and some of my frames carry that mark.

That’s what I thought too. It was the only pin it had.
Bummer.
Luckily, this won’t happen again (at least from me). Pin pusher has been thrown out lol I am keeping one (polished) Juliet so, if they need a tune up, I will not tackle it on my own.
