Romeo, Romeo... Anyone else love Romeos?

[BHarry]

I have been searching for a reasonably priced Plasma R1 to complete the set for a while. I was able to find one, but unfortunately it had BI lenses instead of Fire. That prompted a cascade of lens and rubber swapping. I went with some NXT Ice lenses and sand gray rubber from @Linegear Japan . I love the look!

I now have an example of every factory frame finish of the R1, plus a couple Frankensteins. I just wish I had those Fire lenses...
2 X-metal/Black Iridium
X-metal/Ruby Iridium
Bone Titanium/Chrome Iridium
Titanium/Titanium Iridium
Plasma/NXT Ice
Tio2 (Ti/XM)/ BI
Reverse Tio2/Sapphire

While swapping lenses, I figured why not swap some parts and made myself a TiO2 and and reverse TiO2 from Titanium and X-metal frames.

As you can tell from the pics he prefers Romeo on Romeo action. He did have Juliet's and other xmetals at one time I believe.
