I'm looking for a pair for myself. Obviously Oakley no longer sells them. Was there a problem with them? Anybody know of any good sources?

Steve, did you look under the Sport-Specific section of the new O.com?

http://www1.oakley.com/o/c700t

You could also try the usual on-line sources:

www.sportsvisionbend.com
www.technical-gear.com

If you've got the current M Frames I would definetly recommend the Mags, they are so much better in my opinion, better looks and great construction. Some people have had issues with the magnesium frame 'flaking' after heavy use but I've not had any problems.

i dunno, i tried them on and found them very rigid and heavy for an m-frame.
cos m-frames are spose to be comfortable for sport but wearing a heavy magnesium frame is not comfortable in my book.

They're not discontinued or anything.

Keep in mind that the lenses are a right bitch to switch out compared to the regular M-Frames, and you can't use O matter M-Frame lenses in them.

On the other hand, thank god they don't pop out at inconvenient times. The colour choice for lenses is a bit more restricted compared to the regular M Frame though, which is a bit of a shame, would love a red iridium lens but fire is pretty cool anyway.
