Remember the Pathway Challlenger?

[Spexvet]

A guy walks out of his exam wearing what looks like a Pathway Challenger in brown fade, 46 eye, and tells me he loves his frame, his wife thinks he looks good in it, and asks if I can get the same frame for him. As far as I know, Pathway is long gone. Can anyone recommend a frame that looks like the one he is wearing? I looked through frame facts and saw a couple of similar shape and size, but they don't come in brown fade.

Please help!

I had the same thing happen this past summer. I could not find anything similar to the Callenger. I called several distributers to see if they may have one on the shelf and no luck. I finally convinced the guy that it was time to make a change.

I know this won't make you feel any better but I remember heaving box fulls of challenger and the similar into a dumpster about 15 yrs ago when the office I worked at was being renovated.

We use to have containers with every color and size of that frame. That and the MT 225 half eye and the Rim Top. Needed a part, no problem.
