    I'm small, old, and under 50. What am I?

    I'm a retro frame!

    Anyone know of any decent 45-47-49-ish eyesize retro oval, round, rectangle metals/combos floating in the mainstream of the river of frames?

    I picked up this website here, but it's too cool for me, but the idea is great: http://kamemannen.com/

    Ah yes, the narrow IPD and face who needs a PAL. For plastics/acetates at a most reasonable price check out Sho, more upscale Lafont Re-edition series, combos Masunaga and Retro Specs. Lower priced full metal Kio Yamato's O&X, Seraphin has some nice smaller retro styles in titanium and acetate.

    OOPPS- Didn't notice the metal/combo requirement.

    Their quality is worth the price.
