Hey finding those elusive fire lenses in good condition is as hard as it gets!

I just got a set in mint condition

Good luck

Wow, very nice collection of Romeo there, B. Excellent examples of all the finishes, thanks for the pics.

I need to pickup at least one of those...I especially like your Juliets though, having never had a Romeo.

Thank you! Get a pair, I think you'd really like them and they would work well on you. Then look out !

I know they'll fit me, and that's going to be the death of my wallet. 8 Julie's and an XX so far are my money pit now!

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

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.
