Mark Cavendish's sunglasses

Another day of sitting around while I wait for my jaw to heal...

I've got a healthy obsession with Mark Cavendish, and I exercise this obsession by attempting to accessorize like Cav in an effort to add that last niggling 13 mph to my sprint. I've got the green jersey from Cav's ToC points championship, and now I'm on the lookout for the Manxman's sunglasses. Not his racing glasses, but his super cool podium stunner--or rather "sprinner"--shades. I first thought they were Rayban Wayfarers, but they don't sell those with that superfast colorway. Then I stumbled onto this picture, and saw they were Oakleys. Still can't figure out which model though. If anybody knows, drop me a line.

Listening to Don't You Evah by Spoon. It was on at the bicycle store and I can't get it out of my head.

  1. First of all, I'm glad to know I'm not the only dc cyclist with a man-crush on Cavendish.

    Secondly, a fellow sunglasses/Oakley addict, I think these are what you're looking for - http://oakley.com/pd/6097 - although you might also like the reincarnation of the timeless Oakley Frogskins (http://oakley.com/pd/4883/22147).

    Thirdly, I predicted that he would be great way back before he won 4 tour stages. I am a genius (or not, since everyone knew he was on his way to world domination): http://sigberto.blogspot.com/2008/04/cavendish.html
