Well I got new glasses. Do these work? Is this what you think of when imagining an international penny farthing racer / unicyclist / wearer of weird watches?

From my perspective. I actually see this copper colour in my peripheral vision when inside. Outdoors, not really.

Ok, I picked up a second pair in a different style today.

Which do you prefer?

@r0 I like them both!

How expensive is your prescription, or can you have a pair of cheap distance-only single strength (I wear varifocals, you might not) in an extremely vintage style if you want to project full-on penny-farthing style?

@sarajw Yeah just single strength. It would be doable… but… I probably will not. 😆

@r0 Yeah it's fine! Hahaha. Just saying if you want late 19th century velocipede-rider specs... :D
