Oakley Special Edition Heritage Eyeshade
This Oakley shades were the goods when the sport was in full swing in the 80s and Scott Tinley was one of their poster guys. In 1985 he won the Ironman Hawaii race wearing a white framed version of the Eyeshade. Almost 30 years later you too can be as cool as Tinley and show up at a race or social scene with these retro glasses.
Colors: green, black and fog
MSRP: $200
Veiss tire lever
Don't you hate it when you have a flat and you can't find that tire lever in your jersey or your tool kit. This is where Veiss comes to the rescue as that tire tool wraps around the CO2 cartridge that is mounted to a behind the saddle bracket kit.
MSRP: $8.99
