Minima Frame Distributor?

**snowmonster** · 08-22-2005, 09:35 AM

I really like the Minima frame line and am having a very hard time finding a sales rep or dealer.

Can somebody please give me a name and number for distributor of them?

Thanks in advance!

Good line. I do not carry them anymore, but that is because we do not have a rep and I have moved away more and more from drill mounts.

I have people who bought their frame from us in 1999, still wearing them, we replace the lenses and the frame still looks brand spanking new. They also offer a 10 year warranty.

I'm not really trying to replace our Silhouettes but merely trying to add another type of lightweight rimless line.

It is my understanding that you can do a higher Rx in these because there isn't a piece on the back of the lens that has to connect to the pins from the front side. Am I correct?

*Much better than Silhouette. They do not break. For the first few years we did them all in Cr-39 and had no breakage (some broke after five years). Now saying that we did not sell them to everyone, so the people who had them were probably more delicate. But still.

Sorry for the double post. Yes you can. But you are right, the stuff you can do with these is different from the Silhouette. A different crowd, so it allows you to add to wha to you have.

Great stuff to hear!

I called that distributor yesterday. He said they just got the line and he knows very little about them. I guess he'll get some training at Vision Expo West in Vegas in about 2-3 weeks and they he'll call me back.
