ROMEO1 Titanium↑
OAKLEY wall-mounted brand panel (made of plastic), available for purchase in the store. (Only 1 left)
How about using it for display?
↓ It's almost brand new.
Also, there are several used ones with slight scratches in different sizes. I plan to sell them in the shop later.

Hello, everyone.
How are you all doing?
Juliet X-Metal 
, lenses are NXT polarized Fire.
And, this T-shirt 
...
Today, it was good weather in Tsukuba.
In Ibaraki Prefecture where LINEGEAR is located, it seems that the state of emergency is likely to be extended. It looks like this situation will continue for a while.
Even though we released the NXT polarized photochromic lenses this year and received many orders, it seems there were fewer opportunities to use them because people couldn't go out, right?
Starting with the shark incident, even the sea on weekends in August in Ibaraki was a total loss. It's becoming a bit suffocating because, even if you want to exercise, all public sports facilities are closed (including pools), like a slow and lingering discomfort.
It's like this ↓
Well, complaining about that won't change anything, so recently, I've been holed up in the office, tirelessly working on the website.
"Oh, are you still at it? Didn't you do the same thing before?"
"Yeah, I finished the previous one, but now I'm creating a new LINEGEAR website."
"Oh, I see. The lightbulb moment. Running an online shop means editing work all year round, huh? It must be tough."
So, recently, with the online environment evolving quite a bit and convenient features emerging, I'm incorporating them into the website.
Currently, a ★new website★ is in the works. However, there might not be many benefits for domestic customers.
I'll write about this in more detail once the website is finished.
By the way, the T-shirt I posted above,
Did you notice?
It's the T-shirt of the Facebook group called "X-Metal Customization, Restoration, Parts and Service."
It contains various information about X-Metal customization and repairs.
Most of the members are LINEGEAR customers.
Thank you always.

Now, I would like to introduce images of X-Metal that I recently worked on.
I hope you can take a look and use it as a reference for future lens and rubber part selections.
I'll focus on the images.
First off,
JULIET
The frame that was sold the other day (although it was quite some time ago).
It's Cerakote Gold.
It's the so-called 24K pattern of X-METAL XX.
There have been quite a few people customizing with this pattern recently.
Of course, we also accept refresh services for XX's 24K pattern, so if you're interested, please contact us.

X-SQUARED
Rubber parts are sandy gray.
The lenses are Polycarbonate Titanium clear.
_________________________________________________________________________________________
ROMEO2
The rubber parts are brown.
The lenses are NTX®VARIA™ dimming pinky gold.
When it dims, the base lens becomes darker, emphasizing the mirror, so it turns almost gold in color rather than pink.
___________________________________________________________________________________________
JULIET Carbon
Rubber parts are black
The lenses are also the same, NXT® VARIA™ photochromic pinky gold.
It has a cool vibe, somewhat reminiscent of "FINITO Carbon Juliet."
Pinky gold is perfect for golf. The base pink works well, and it's highly praised for being very easy to see.

ROMEO2 Cerakote
Same as the pattern introduced before, matte & gloss.
Previous post ↓
The nose and arms have a glossy finish, while the orbital is matte.
The rubber parts are black, and the lenses are Liquid Metal UV420 polarized lenses.
__________________________________________________________________________________________
Juliet IP Gold
Again, the lenses are NXT® VARIA™ photochromic pinky gold.
Rubber parts are black
The temple screws are also fitted with gold.

MARS Leather (Jordan Model)
I traveled to the United States to replace the leather and have returned.
It took quite a bit of time,
Currently, due to the impact of the coronavirus, not only in terms of transportation but also the reduced operating rates of other suppliers, the process for these customizations and repairs (outsourced) has slowed down considerably.
We will provide an estimated delivery time at the time of your order, but depending on the order details, it may take 2-3 months.
We appreciate your understanding of the situation, and we hope for your understanding in this regard.
Rubber parts are black (genuine)
The lenses are prescription brown lenses.
The fact that it's prescription lenses means you use them regularly.
I've never met anyone wearing leather on their MARS before.
If the leather gets old, you can replace it, so please continue using this cool MARS leather in the future.

Complete rubber set in violet.
Installed on the Polished Juliet.
The lenses installed are in violet.
Violet is a really beautiful lens. When viewed head-on, it's completely purple, but when you change the angle, a green hue comes out.
It's nice how the impression changes depending on the angle.
Many people choose this pattern with the image of the Infinite Hero.

X-SQUARED X-Metal
Rubber parts are Sky blue.
The lenses are polarized turquoise blue.
Refreshing.
This combination also looks quite nice, with the matching colors of the lenses and rubber parts.

That's all for now.
I hope it serves as a reference for the future.
As for future plans, I will be receiving used frames for Juliet, XX, Romeo 2, etc., and I want to refresh them to bring them back to good condition for resale.
The Juliet NXT® polarized photochromic lenses and black rubber sets, currently out of stock, will be back in stock soon.
Also, we are preparing to release matte lenses around the end of the year.
I couldn't update the blog in August, but I'll find time to write in the future, so I'd be happy if you could check in from time to time.
Thank you for your continued support.
